Compact Disk Dummies had from their very beginning the intention to get their audience on the dance floor, and that remains a mantra set in stone even with new album "The Signal." Forward singles "There's No Sex Without You" and "fomo" already suggested the best and struck a chord with radio and audiences alike, who came out in droves to cheer the band on the festival fields of Werchter and Pukkelpop during the summer of 2023.

"The Signal" is the third full-length album after "Silver Souls" (2016) and "Neon Fever Dream" (2020), which appeared during a Corona-short-lived period that the brothers were still able to bend a bit to their will thanks to inventive online campaigns. There was no sitting still in the meantime. In February 2023, they gave another crazy party at Vooruit, dropped a docu on VRTMAX, followed later that year by another sold-out concert in the main hall of Ancienne Belgique. But looking backwards for long is not for the Dummies. As one of Belgium's most compelling live bands, they are ready to play two sold-out Roma's in Antwerp, a series of Dutch clubs and your festival summer in 2024 ́to introduce their brand new album. The signal cannot be ignored: time to bang!

"Dance until you drop" remains the motto of Compact Disk Dummies
