Their debut album Dance Into The Dark with the same titled single Dance into the dark has been be released at the end of august 2011. Here's some well-produced synth rock mixing britrock sound of Franz Ferdinand (listen to City and wonder if Netherlands-based The Medics are secretly the Scottish alt rockers from the '00s) with the arena sound of The Naked and Famous.
