Dope Stars Inc. is an Italian industrial rock band that was formed in 2003 by Victor Love, Darin Yevonde, Grace Khold, and Brian Wolfram. They quickly captivated listeners with their blend of cyberpunk imagery and aggressive, yet melodic, electronic-infused rock music. Their sound is characterized by Love's distinct vocals, driving guitars, and a strong synth presence that pays homage to the digital era. The band became known for their energetic songs that often carry commentary on technology, society, and politics, wrapped in a dystopian aesthetic.

The band made a significant impact with their debut EP "10.000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures," leading to a rapid ascent in the underground music scene. Continuing to build their reputation, Dope Stars Inc. produced a series of well-received albums including "Neuromance," "Gigahearts," "Criminal Intents / Morning Star," "21st Century Slave," and "Ultrawired: Pirate Ketaware for the TLC Generation," the latter emphasizing the band's support for the hacktivist culture and free information sharing. Their latest release, "Terapunk," reinforces their commitment to creating a soundtrack for the digital age, merging punk attitudes with industrial sounds to critique and celebrate contemporary culture. The band's relentless energy and futuristic visions have cemented their place as a staple in the industrial rock genre.
