Valencia, Spain

An ebullient Spanish dance-rock/indie pop/new wave revival outfit based out of Valencia, Polock's eclectic mix of punchy guitars, summery keys, and knotty melodic hooks invokes names like Phoenix, OK Go, Two Door Cinema Club, and Passion Pit. Founded in 2006 and featuring the talents of Papu Sebastián (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Marc Llinares (drums), and Pablo Silva (guitar, keyboards), the band burst onto the international scene in 2010 with the release of their acclaimed debut long-player, Getting Down from the Trees. In early 2014, the band dropped the single "Everlasting" in anticipation of the release of their sophomore full-length Rising Up, which arrived later that April. Magnetic Overload, the trio's hotly anticipated third studio long-player, followed in 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger
