I can. A couple of examples from the Sydney music scene. Pop/rock
rather than dance, but never mind.

Bughouse, whose album "Every Fool In Town" is mostly Lea Cameron's
bitterly dark lyrics over upbeat rock/pop/funk. Say, "Gloria Smith",
which is about being on the game, and the title track.  Their earliest
work, "V For Vendetta", is about domestic violence.

Clouds, notably Jodi Phillis's "4 PM" from their EP "Loot", which has
bright, almost calypso music and starts:

    I'm a bitter twisted soul.
    With my hands behind my back,
    I feel my shiny silver blade.

and gets bloodier from there.  Serial killer stuff.
