Editor's review

Dressed in bright red jumpsuits, Datarock rules the stage with a Beastie Boys-meets-Talking Heads style. Trading off between campy rap tracks and legit postpunk jams, this Norwegian posse has raised the bar for today's party music. Catch them at dance club or dive bar near you.

Biography

"We just want to make people do the dirty! The dirty dancing!" DATAROCK "Doubting Datarock is the future of indie dance? You're taking the piss, right?" -James Jam, new bands editor, NME "...the urge to cheer them from the sideline remains strong." -Sharon O'connel, Uncut "Datarock may be treading the disco-ball lined path already well worn by Devo, but damned if they don't drop a couple of catchy fucking tunes in the process" -Music Week "Finally, a band to fall madly in love with" -The Fly Magazine "There's never a bottom line with bands like this, but the bottom line with Datarock is the songs shoot for instant pleasure and accidentally end up being much more than that. (7.8)" -Nick Sylvester, Pitchfork "Note to all festival booking agents and...sod it...all other booking agents for that matter - stick Datarock to a stage and just send us a cheque for telling you to do so" -Caz McBain, Loud & Quiet "It makes for quite a party" -John Robinson, Q Magazine "Norwegian duo Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes are lively digital dance-rock bunnies who know how to have fun without becoming a laughing stock." -Daily Mirror (UK) "Their record kills me like all good 'playing with genre stereotypes' records do--funny but not Weird Al about it, whimsical but not trivial, all the result of band leaders Fredrik having killer vox and Ketil laying down unquestionably funky low-end." -The Village Voice "I suppose it only makes sense that all the coolest electro-pop has been coming from our Nordic neighbours in Scandinavia." -Montreal Mirror
