New Zealand Bolide THE DATSUNS Released Their Debut Album 20 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Back in time

7 October 2022

Band: THE DATSUNS
Who: Sturdy rockin’bolide from New Zealand
Active: 1998-present / 7 LPs (so far)

Anniversary album: THE DATSUNS
Released: 7 October 2002 – 20 years ago today

Uncut Magazine (UK) said: “It helps that these 10 primitive songs are excellent
and that The Datsuns attack them with such vehemently anti-ironic gusto.”
Score: 3/5

TUTV: Like Deep purple if they had been a punk whirlwind. A stream of classic
rock riffs, classic guitar solos, and not-so-classic tunes except for a couple of
rowdy singles. Sweaty hard rock fun, just for a while.

Singles/clips: MF From Hell / Harmonic Generator

New Zealand’s Retro Rockers THE DATSUNS Never Will Become FERRARI’S

Posted on by JL

4 June 2021

Band: THE DATSUNS
Who: Sharp and noisy rockers from New-Zealand
Active: Since 1998 / 5 studio albums so far with their
latest Deep Sleep released back in 2014

Album: EYE TO EYE – 5th LP
Released: 28 May 2021

Classic Rock Webzine Louder: “Engrossing are the moments when they embrace
prog, mating Deep Purple with Can for the compulsive In Record Time (complete with
authentic 70s poltergeist solos) or, on Moongazer, imagining what Pink Floyd’s Money
might have sounded like if David Bowie had replaced Syd Barrett.” Score: 3/5.

Turn Up The Volume: Probably with getting older The Datsuns rock less hard
than they did in their early rowdy days. Although they will never become Ferrari’s,
if you are a fan of sharp-cutting riffs, nasty hooks, insane licks and a series of
wailing guitar solos this engine longplayer is for you. And me? I liked them live
better than on record.

Singles: Suspicion / Dehumanise
