With the release of last year’s full-length debut, SDPS, Copenhagen-based jazz punks Smag På Dig Selv (SPDS) — Oliver Lauridsen (tenor sax), Thorbjørn Øllgaard (baritone sax, bass sax, vocals) and Albert Holberg (drums) — firmly cemented their reputation as one of most boundary pushing groups out on the contemporary Danish scene. With a sound that’s an explosive, party starting mixture of acoustic techno, punk energy, jazz and 90s EDM, the Danish trio have begun to make the round of the international festival and touring circuit, playing sets at Roskilde Festival, SXSW, The Great Escape, Eurosonic, Winter Jazzfest NYC and Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage.  SPDS’s highly-anticipated sophomore album is slated for a March 2026 through Stunt Records. The album will feature the previously released, TMI Tammi-produced “Let’s Go!," a mix sneering, in-your-face punk attitude, ambient electronics, pulsing beats, thunderous Viking drumming and modal-influenced jazz that’s mind-bending, mischievously unhinged yet accessible and dance floor friendly.  The album's third and latest single, "Vik's Rawcore" sees the rising Danish trio collaborating with vibraphonist Viktoria Søndergaard on a track that's a mischievous blend of jazz lyricism and the relentless, industrial-inspired club rocking thump of drum 'n' bass while adding a gorgeous sense of counterpoint and texture. The composition was inspired by Oliver Lauridsen's time in Holland, where he became immersed in the local underground scene.
