After writing songs together for three years for their respective solo albums (which were never produced), Boyd and Hansen realized they had a group forming. In 2009, the duo entered with two of their songs, “Stress” and “Money”, in the Danish National Radio P3’s Karriere Kanonen (“Career Cannon”) competition. Of 973 bands, New Politics was among 42 selected to perform, despite not yet being an official band, and not having selected the final line-up. Boyd and Hansen hired Poul Amaliel to play drums. The new trio were among the top four winners and went on to play in a major music festival in Denmark.
