Biography
Because Geneva in 2010 is not London in 1976, DATA?FAIL! will never dare to wear the “punk” tag. Indeed, their profile bears no similarities with the likes of Johnny Rotten or Joe Strummer. But be assured: the energy and the rage is here!
Blending the aggressivity of vintage punk (Sex Pistols, The Clash...) with the spontaneity of modern indie-rock (Supergrass, The White Stripes...); DATA?FAIL! designed a very personal sound. The recipe is easy: viral songs you will not get rid of, a massive and deafening sound and a hyperactive live show.
DATA?FAIL! coalesced around 4 CERN physicists and engineers in autumn 2009 in Geneva. By July 2010, they were already in the studio in Amsterdam to record their debut EP “This Is Not Punk!” which will be released in September 2010.
