Datarock Datarock, the debut album from Norwegian dance-punk duo Datarock, arrived on April 4, 2005, with Jørgen Træen producing. Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes, the pair known for performing in matching red jumpsuits, took their name from datamaskin, the Norwegian word for computer, plus rock, and the record lives up to it: rock music with its circuits showing, jerking and twitching like a marionette on a sugar high.
The big one was "Computer Camp Love", a playful nerd romance built on the 1984 comedy Revenge of the Nerds that comes close to sending up "Summer Nights". North America caught up in 2007, when the album got a release there with videos for "Bulldozer", "Computer Camp Love" and "Fa-Fa-Fa" tacked on. Its cover turned up in a stack of iPod ads, and "The New Song" found a second life as the theme for the NHL's Utah Mammoth.
