Pol consists of brothers Ruben Pol and Matthijs Pol. The duo is inspired musically by bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure, Japan, New Order and Visage. They have created a unique world in which they effortlessly combine their passion for music and fashion. They use their experiences as successful models (having worked for brands like Saint Laurent, Gucci, Fendi, Valentino and Dior, amongst others) to bring the rush of the fashion world to their music.

In their world, any shitload of weird, random, and badly synchronized sounds unveil broken-hearted pop mastery.
