In an effort to keep up with the ever-changing music industry, Norwegian dance rock band DATAROCK has released its latest single on USB. The DATAROCK USB single comes in a red diamond figurine packed with a ton of extra content.
The DATAROCK USB single comes in a 3-inch figurine (that looks eerily similar to the Kool-Aid man) designed by Brian Flynn from Super 7. The USB stick inside contains the band's new single "Catcher In The Rye," the new EP "California," 1,500 photos, a 60-minute concert film, 20 music videos and 105 bonus tracks, according to Springwise. The entire package is on sale for $50, which isn't such a bad deal when you think of all the extras. Hopefully more recording artists follow in the footsteps of DATAROCK and decide to get creative with their CD and single releases.
