Information Society

Information Society is an American synth-pop and electronic music band that originally formed in Minneapolis in the early 1980s. Known for their catchy fusion of synth-driven pop, new wave, and industrial dance music, the group broke through to mainstream success with their 1988 self-titled major-label debut, which featured hits like “What’s on Your Mind (Pure Energy)”—a track that famously sampled Spock’s voice from “Star Trek.” Their music captured the futuristic, tech-obsessed spirit of the late '80s and early '90s, blending upbeat melodies with themes of communication, identity, and society's relationship with technology.

In the years since, Information Society has continued to evolve and experiment with sound, maintaining strong ties to their electronic roots while embracing modern production. They've cultivated a loyal fanbase around the world, and more recent releases like Oddfellows and Orders of Magnitude show the band still has a passion for exploring the boundaries of synth-pop. Despite lineup changes over the decades, founding members like Paul Robb and Kurt Harland Larson have remained creatively active, keeping the Information Society legacy alive.
