Datarock

Dance-punk duo Datarock [ tickets ]--a.k.a. Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes--are staying busy in the road in support of their sophomore studio effort, "Red," which surfaced in June.

"You can point at the early '80s and say 'personal computers!', 'information society!', 'cultural relativism!'" Saroea said in the duo's bio. "What I wanted to do with the whole album was to say this day and age is just as interesting as the early '80s."

"Red" follows the duo's 2005 debut album, "Datarock Datarock," which saw its initial US release two years later, including four new tracks and three music videos that don't appear on the European versions, according to a press release.
