Their style was comparable to British and American electronic rock and resembles elements of 1980s pop music and 1970s post-punk blend with a distinct and modern Scandinavian touch.
The band released four studio albums: We Are In There You Are Out Here (2007),[1] Enter Metropolis (2009),[2]Wild Hearts (2013) and Delta (2016) and toured extensively around the world and supported acts like Muse, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and the German group Die Ärzte around Europe.
The foundation of what would become Dúné was founded in 2001 by elementary school classmates Mattias Kolstrup (vocals), Malte Aarup-Sørensen (drums) and Simon Troelsgaard (guitar) in Skive, Denmark.
After a couple of shifting band names and line up's at a handful of local gigs the three friends were permanently joined by classmate Cecilie Dyrberg (synthesizer) and Piotrek Wasilewski.
Wasilewski, who was trained in classical music in his native Poland, got to hold an electric bass for the first time in his life at his first rehearsal with the band.
In December 2003, the band initially brought in Ole Bjórn (synthesizer) and Danny Jungslund (guitar) as members before releasing their two self-financed EPs ("Rock, Synth'n'Roll" and "Go Go Robot") in 2004 and 2005.
The EPs received rave reviews in the Danish media for adding both strong indie-rock and electro pop elements to the band's sound.
After graduating high school in 2008, the band moved to the Danish capital Copenhagen and started writing and recording their second studio album Enter Metropolis with Jacob Hansen (Volbeat) as the producer.
Normally producing heavy metal, Hansen helped push the harder guitar driven electro sound of the record.
In 2011, the fourth single off "Enter Metropolis", "Heiress of Valentina", was remixed by Swedish DJ and producer Alesso resulting in a worldwide club hit.
From Berlin the band kept touring until Kolstrup's 22nd birthday on 11 September 2010 where they took a break to begin the song writing for their third album while having to deal with three shattering events.
Then again in November 2011 Dúné parted ways with guitar player Simon Troelsgaard leaving the band as a quartet with Danish session ace Morten Hellborn filling the drum seat for the shows and recordings.
To promote the collection the band released the new song "Antidote" accompanied by a short mood-film written and directed by Mattias brother, Jeppe Kolstrup.
