London and Manchester outfit We Have Band call themselves a “disco-rock trio,” which is probably a fair if bare-boned descriptor. They don’t have an album, or really even an EP to their name — just a handful of singles being tossed about as the WHB Sampler, including a demo and a song (“Hear It In The Cans”) that found its way onto the Kitsune Maison 6 tracklist, alongside a cut from Fischerspooner and a Hot Chip remix. Fitting in that We Have Band have drawn fleeting comparisons to both for their mix of heartworn, guitar-laced electropop and dark, Depeche modality. The married couple (Thomas and Dede WP) plus one (Darren Bancroft) — all of whom share vocals — just released a video for “Oh!,” which we’ve stacked with the dusky, clicking post-punk of their demo for “You’ve Had Band.” Pronouns for everyone.
Here’s “Oh!”:
The “Oh!” single is out in the UK on 11/24 via the 50 Bones label. Hear more of the sampler MySpace, including the Kitsune comp’s “You Came Out,” which is bringing PB&J whistling to electro land. Had to happen sometime.

Amazing band name / song name, but pretty boring music.
This is great. I am loving it.
And yeah what a cool name!
You’ve Band is a fucking good track.
ugh do not like this. it just seems to be way more about fashion than actual music to me. i do like the band and song names but this is just not so much fun to listen to.
reminds me of ting tings + bloc party =we have (many) bands like this before.
but we can’t get enough. right?
A trendy east london / american apparel fashion band without much substance. This is all getting a bit too much like a production line to keep this whole scene of being into the new coolest thing going, regardless of their any good! Is anybody going to be talking about them in 12 months time??
I saw these guys at glastonbury completely by accident but i was so glad i saw them…their music is awsome and they are a fresh and vibrant band….i hope someone signs them soon so we can all benifit from this array of dance electro….stick in their guys your time will come – hope to see you at the festivals next year! x
