DaftPunk is a very misleading band name,because their music contains no influences of punk and is straight updance music.

Bangalter and de Homem-Christo first met in secondary school, forming an indie rock trio with a friend. Thisproject was shortlived, and the duo promptly formed Daft Punk (a magazine had dubbed their rock music tobe "daft punk") and beganexperimenting with drum machines and synthesizers. "Homework" was released in1997, and was widely regarded as a strongcombination of techno, house, acid house and various electrostyles. The album spawned the hit "Around the World" whichbecame a dance hit around the world andfeatured a music video directed by Michael Gondry.

With "Discovery" in 2001, Daft Punk adopted a synthpop-oriented style. Major hits included "One More Time"and "Harder, Better,Faster, Stronger". 2003 saw Daft Punk produce a feature-length animated film withJapanese animator, Leiji Matsumoto, calledInterstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Daft Punk'smost recent studio album was 2005's "Human After All". « hide
