Datarock

Datarock is a Norwegian band. The band describes their sound as "a mixture of musical styles like." A trio of friends, Fredrik Saroea, Ketil Mosnes and Kevin O'Brien, conceived the group while at a festival in Bergen, and soon hired Tom Mæland. O'Brien and Mæland later left the band, but the duo of Saroea and Mosnes continued the project. The band members list their major artistic influences as Devo, Talking Heads and the Happy Mondays.

Dark Horse

Dark Horse's origins were formed in late 2005 with the band playing cover songs in typical garage band fashion. This lasted a few months before they decided to start working on original material. Before their first song was wrapped up they had invited Adam to join the ranks and take on the role as lead singer and guitarist. With the lineup now complete the band continued to focus on writing original material under the name Cairnlea and performed their first live show in December of 2006.
