Since forming in 1994, bis have continually mutated their initial influences of Synth-pop, Riot Grrrl and DIY Punk into weird and wonderful songs with a natural gift for melodic earworms with a disco heartbeat. Sci-Fi Steven, John Disco and Manda Rin first caught the UK underground’s attention with the “Disco Nation 45” EP in 1995. Its cross-breeding of Huggy Bear, Blur and Devo made it stand out in the dreary death of Britpop. With the next release, “The Secret Vampire Soundtrack”, suddenly bis were playing “Kandy Pop” on Top of The Pops - as the first unsigned band ever to appear - and riding high in the “proper” charts. 
 A frantic bidding war resulted in bis turning down big-money from big business and opting to sign for Wiiija Records in 1996 and the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal label in the US. The first album “The New Transistor Heroes” came out in early 1997, the album sold 100,000 copies on release in Japan and saw bis support acts as diverse as Bikini Kill, Pavement and Foo Fighters across Europe and the US. The band wrote the theme tune to Cartoon Network's “The Powerpuff Girls”. 
 A sixth bis LP will be released November 2022. Systems Music For Home Defence finds the band in fine fettle with Sci-fi Steven proclaiming this album isthe best Bis have written. The first single "Lucky Night" would not be out of place in a sweaty Ibiza dance club and maybe the bands most infectious track since "Eurodisco" itself. 
 This new wave will go on.
