During their steady rise from the underground to the mainstream, Disco Ensemble has gone from punk and post-hardcore to boundless alternative rock without abandoning their roots. The music of the band has become sharper and clearer, embracing their melodic sensibilities and the knack with crowd chants. Effortlessly speeding rhythms, guitars and synths working hand in glove and the endlessly expressive voice of Miikka Koivisto instigate unpredictable,? unique reactions in the brains of the audience.
One of these responses, widely documented in the festivals and clubs, is a strong desire to move to the music. Disco Ensemble has been called the best live band in Finland countless times and the title is well deserved: they're explosive ball lightning which immediately activates the mirror neurons of the audience. It's pure energy, simple as it is.
