More The Datsuns More The Datsuns

The Datsuns first hit the hard-rock scene like a firecracker back in 2002 and now on their sixth time around they’ve released one of their strongest albums. Deep Sleep takes in all the usual elements that make up the band’s DNA – glam-, stoner- and garage-rock with some MC5 ramalama and an endless supply of riffs and yelps and big choruses – yet it is the quality of songs that make this one stand out. It never wilts under the heat of its own amps and the band add some nice contrasting shades of psychedelia to their arsenal.
