Santa Hates You - Rocket Heart

 

Santa Hates You is a german based musical project born in autumn 2007.
Members of the band are Peter "PS" Spilles (also known as the mastermind of Project Pitchfork) and his female comrade-in-arms, the italian Jinxy.
Their music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic elements on the other. The band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial".
Santa Hates You is a subversive musical project, and this is reflected in the lyrics and in the image of the band. While being ironic and witty, neither the band's image nor the lyrics end up being superficial: there's always a considerable portion of depth, rebellion and shrewdness hidden behind the humorous facade.

The Brixton Academy named themselves after the concert hall in Britain.  And the British influence is pretty evident in their music. 

With influences that vary from New Order to Depeche Mode, King Crimson to (New York era) Madonna, Hot Chip to Yellow Magic Orchestra. 

They come from Tokyo, Japan and say about themselves: ''Take four lively lads, stick them in a basement club two floors underground in a far flung corner of a sprawling metropolis. Feed them on a diet of 70's New Wave, pumped up early 80's New Romantic Electro, and a 90's hunger for indie Hacienda dance floor guitar rock. Top it off with identikit black mop top haircuts then wrap in monochrome vertical stripes and you've just about got TBA.''.

Here is song “See You In A Dream” from debut album ''Vivid'' (2010).
