ABGESAGT: Pleaser (DK), St. Digue (DK)
Pleaser is a new lollipop chainsaw punk band from Copenhagen. Giving the first public signs of life around a year ago, Pleaser has already by many been pointed to as a new, fresh voice to the punk scene with their emotional, catchy and intense take on the punk genre.
Pleaser is steam rolling noise and singalongable tunes, headless aggression in shrill voices and hooky duet singing. Musically referencing genres ranging from hardcore to alternative rock, Pleaser chews it all up and infuses it with their own noisy but charming melodic rattle. Pleaser has released a self-recorded demo/EP in 2021 and the debut album is set for release in 2023.

St. Digue (a.k.a. Kasper Deichmann) is a Darkwave solo artist from Copenhagen.
With lush, ethereal synthesizers, hard-hitting drum machines, harsh and heavy industrial electronic soundscapes and soaring, melancholic melodies, St. Digue takes you on a dark, despondent journey through desolation and armageddon. With inspiration from 80’s gothic synth-pops acts, contemporary underground EBM and Post-Punk, as well as his black metal roots, he creates a sound that’s unmistakably his own.
Kasper began making music under the ‘St. Digue’ name in 2020 as a corona quarantine project in his bedroom and has since then played shows across Scandinavia, Germany, The Baltics and The Balkans, as well as released 2 EPs and the debut album “Everything Hits At Once” which gained positive acclaim and put him on the map in the danish underground music scene, or as various music news outlets has dubbed him, “The Uncrowned Prince Of Darkwave”.
The darkwave one-man army is now back with his highly-anticipated second album “Toxic Kiss” set to be released on May 12th 2023 via Midnat Records.
