Datarock hail from Bergen, Norway and they are about to stake their claim as your new favourite band.

Taking the funk-pop framework of classic Prince and the Bee Gees and mixing it with the garage rock snarl of The Velvet Underground sounds like an unlikely combination. But Datarock succeed in pulling it off, showing what a remarkable group they are.

The album combines all the catchiness of electronic pop music with the muscle of a fully-fledged rock band to create a sound that references every thinkable and unthinkable musical genre from the last 30 years of popular music.

Described by the NME (The Buzz, 17 May 06) as ‘bloody great too, kinda like the Velvets collaborating with Daft Punk, only Norwegian and obsessed with Commodore 64’s’, and earlier in The Fly as ‘the most uproariously sleazy, sexually ambiguous camp-disco synth-pop amd one-minute forty-second ejections of skewed punk songs about, I think, George Bush’s pubic hair’

Datarock are on the move…
