**Poptone** is an English–American [post-punk](/source/Post-punk) [supergroup](/source/Supergroup_(music)) band formed in early 2017 by British musicians [Daniel Ash](/source/Daniel_Ash) and [Kevin Haskins](/source/Kevin_Haskins) with Diva Dompé (Haskins' daughter).

In their initial press release, the band announced: "Daniel and Kevin are revisiting their storied catalogue and presenting in a fresh, new direction, to combine their histories with a reinvigorated outlook for new tours and potentially new music."[1]

An eponymous live album recorded at various stops on the tour was self-released on 17 December 2017, funded through [PledgeMusic](/source/PledgeMusic).[2]
