Norway is about to be back on the music scene with the release (digital) on June 9th of Datarock’s Red. From the first notes of this album I started DANCING RIGHT AWAY. This is what all dance rock bands try to be, but so many fail miserably at doing. Somehow Datarock blends the sounds of Talking Heads and Devo, smashes them to a gooey pulp then uses that as fuel for their grungy world dominating robot that teaches all how to do the shuffle and the moonwalk on the way to bliss. Yeah. Just like that. This album is FUN (it has to be all caps). This album is ADDICTIVE. Summertime never sounded so good.

I remember hearing them live when they opened for Ladytron and not only did they suck but they were really obnoxoius, I stayed in the merch area until they left.
Their studio tracks sound much better.
Dang…that sucks…but at least one part of them is good. anyone else heard em live?
