Hailing from the former Eastern Bloc, Poland’s Supra1 produce next-level dubstep, UK funky, and bassline house wobblers that kill it on dancefloors worldwide.

The ladies, whose CD happens to be one of the first releases from Steven Van Zandt's new label, comprise more than just an all-female version of early, hard-rocking Blondie. This is a non-standard garage-hard rock-surf-pop band that manages to mix up the formula to keep things fresh.
