Compact Disk Dummies are two brothers from Desselgem, in Waregem, Belgium: Lennert and Janus Coorevits, still teenagers when they started the band in 2010. Both of them sing and both play keyboards, with Lennert strapping on a guitar as well, and on stage they bring in Robin Wille to pound the drums. The result is electropunk with its elbows out, synths buzzing like a faulty fuse box and vocals delivered with the cheerful menace of kids who've just discovered how loud the amps go.
Play It Again Sam signed them, and the 2013 EP Mess With Us made good on the title. "The Reeling" is the one that grabbed hold of the countdowns, all nervy synth stabs and a chorus that lurches like a dancefloor at closing time, while "What You Want" keeps the pulse racing behind it. Brothers sharing a band is an old story; these two just turned it into a party.
