Flight of the Conchords isn't the only New Zealand band on the block. No, you're forgetting about Cambridge's own, The Datsuns . While they made a big splash years ago with their 2002 self-titled debut, they've been churning out critically acclaimed work since then, though mostly to folks in the UK and Australia. Fortunately for those overseas, the band's back with a fourth effort. Out for an April 14th release, Headstunts sees the garage rock quartet pummeling out material with sounds dating as far back as the '70s. With newcomer Ben Cole, who replaces former [...]

New Album, HEADSTUNTS (COOKCD477) Released April 14th The Datsuns are set to release their fourth album, Headstunts, on April 14th. Featuring 12 new tracks, "Headstunts" was recorded in Sweden, and is self-produced. From the full-throttle opener Human Error, to the dirtbike guitars and frenzied pummelling of Yeah, Yeah, Just Another Mistake and the 70's stomp rock of Highschool Hoodlums, the album finds the band unleashing their finest work to date. "Lyrically it's about mind games really; 'Headstunts' is an anagram of The Datsuns. We were aware of it all along, but we didn't want to [...]

Depuis leur premier album destructeur , je n'ai jamais cessé de suivre les sorties de nos amis néo-zélandais. Les dernières sorties montraient d'ailleurs une évolution intéressante tout en restant bien encrés dans leur basket. The Datsuns reviennent donc avec Head Stunts cette année, nouvelle mouture que je n'ai pas encore épuisé pour être franc mais qui s'annonce forte intéressante au vue des premières critiques. Mon dernier conseil serait de vous inciter à aller les voir sur scène si l'occasion se dévoile, vous ne [...]

Come tutti i venerdì, eccoci all'appuntamento con le uscite discografiche della settimana. Anche oggi arrivano sugli scaffali molti dischi e ce n'è un po' per tutti i gusti. Sicuramente il più atteso è il nuovo degli Oasis di cui possiamo vantare l'intervista esclusiva pubblicata ieri, contenente le nostre e le vostre domande! Molto fermento anche per l'EP di Antony & The Johnsons , la nuova raccoltona-bootleg di Bob Dylan , il live arricchito di qualche rarità dei Clash , le cover di James Taylor , i tanto discussi Jonas [...]
Todos conocemos multitud de bandas australianas que han facturado o facturan un rock de excelente calidad. No muy lejano al territorio aussie se encuentra Nueva Zelanda, país que por lo visto debe ser espectacular pero que nunca se había prodigado en generar grupos de rock al uso. En 1997 unos tipos de Cambridge, Nueva Zelanda, deciden formar una banda cuando aún están en la escuela. Tras alguna que otra aventura The Datsuns quedan compuestos por Dolf De Borst , vocalista y bajo, Phil Buscke [...]

La banda The Datsuns proveniente de Nueva Zelanda que desde el 2006 no había publicado un nuevo disco, esta por lanzar un nuevo álbum titulado Head Shunts programado para su salida el 6 de octubre. Según declaraciones de la banda el álbum habla de "juegos de la mente", así como también se anuncio el sencillo para el nuevo álbum el cual se titula 'Human Error'. El tracklist del nuevo álbum de The Datsuns es el siguiente: 'Human Error' [...]
I was sorry to hear about George Carlin's passing, but 71 is a very respectable run for a guy who not only turned "Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker & tits" into poetry, but probably "nicotine valium vicodin marijuana ecstasy & alcohol... c-c-c-c-cocaine!!!" as well. This weekend, pull some bongs and watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey in his honour. All of this

Enter to win a pair of tickets to see The Datsuns at Spaceland on Thursday March 27th The Datsuns were one of those "The" bands lumped in and swept up in the retro rock craze of 2001 and 2002 that saw bands like The Hives, The White Stripes and The Strokes rocket to stardom. While gaining quite a bit attention in the U.K. and Australia (their largest neighboring continent), The Datsuns never really gained a strong foothold in the U.S., which would explain why their [...]
Ever wonder what Pete Doherty was like before heroin: Andrew's Pick Matt and I got a chance to see a small band called The Datsuns in a tiny club when we first moved to Toronto. We had been listening to them for a little while, but didn't really know what to expect from the show. They were playing a club that [...]

In addition to being one of my favorite Sage Francis songs, "Smoke and Mirrors" also happens to be the title of the new album by The Datsuns. Yes, the New Zealanders have MORE new material on the way (after the release of the "Stuck Here for Days" EP at the start of the month). In fact, I don't know much about that new album, except that it rocks, much like The Datsuns' other two full lengths. Apparently the UK release date is September 18th according to Amazon, and I see nothing listed as fat as a US release, though since [...]
