Datarock
1 June 2007 :: posted by Travis
Here’s a little late Friday treat for your ears… no secret that Datarock is a favorite around these parts. Their debut Datarock Datarock is finally seeing a Stateside release this June 12th thanks to Nettwerk. Everybody we know thinks they’re rad so hopefully they’ll gain more heat here with the masses.
Here’s a little unreleased Datarock action. Barely a song, “New Rave Anthem” feels more like an incomplete thought. But eh, certainly a treat for fans since you won’t find it on Datarock Datarock.
Datarock - “New Rave Anthem” (mp3)
“Fa Fa Fa” is still my favorite song ever:
And if you don’t know you can steam Datarock’s entire album over at their VIRB.
Catch them on tour if you can. One of the best live bands in the world. Tourdates

another favorite best thing ever in life. i understand the excitement on every post but it tends to be a little repetitive and it doesnt really communicate which is the real good stuff, which all isn’t. a little negative reviewing would be appreciated too :)

“Barely a song, “New Rave Anthem†feels more like an incomplete thought.”
that is about as negative as i can get on datarock.
it’s much easier to write about things we love. we usually turn the things we don’t like off.
BIGSTEREO is love.
and there is NO debate — “FA FA FA” is perhaps one of the best songs ever written. it is perfect.
