The Datsuns fifth studio album Death Rattle Boogie will be released on 12 October 2012 via Hellsquad / MGM Distribution, and will be available ten years to the day of releasing their highly acclaimed self-titled debut.
2002 saw The Datsuns catapulted into the international music scene with the release of their debut record and being hailed by the British press as “the future of rock”. Being plastered on the cover of one of the world’s biggest music publications was more than the band were ever expecting. The decade since has seen The Datsuns produce another three studio albums, tour the world many times and play some of the biggest music festivals on the planet.
Cut to 2012 and The Datsuns are ready to launch the album they are most proud of to date. Recorded in Sweden at lead singer Dolf De Borst’s Gutterview studios and at Neil Finn’s Roundhead studios in Auckland, Death Rattle Boogie took shape under the watchful hand of Nicke Andersson, ex-member of Swedish hard-rockers, The Hellacopters.
Don’t miss The Datsuns launch Death, Rattle, Boogie at a venue near you this December.
