Datarock

Young Aspiring Professionals

Datarock has been on the hype radar prior to releasing their rather mediocre full-length album last year. Here, they've returned with a five song EP that contains three tracks that are better than anything on the album, and two throwaways. "Not me", "Do it your way" and "Stay" are the best songs I've heard by this band, and it made me wonder why they just didn't put them out as a three-song EP, which would have been stellar, as all songs could be potential hit singles. However, the other two tracks just bring the consistency of the album down so that you might not even bother hearing "Stay" because the title track is that bland. The point of an EP is showcase some newer or non-album worthy material, but with a 60% success rate, I'd say they still have some work to do on their kinks.
