New Zealand rockers The Datsuns are gearing up to release their brand new album Deep Sleep set for release in October 3rd this year via Hellsquad/ Valve Records.

The first video to come from the record is for the lead single ‘Bad Taste’ and is three minutes of straight up no nonsense rock we’ve come to know and love from the four piece.

The upcoming album was recorded in a blistering fast ten days at Roundhead Studios in Auckland last summer. The result is a sonic explosion that arrives, lights the place on fire, then leaves, all within the space of 34 minutes.

As singer/bassist Dolf de Borst explains, “We’re not fucking around. We’re all conscious of the fact that we don’t live close to each other and we’re getting older and people have families, so if we’re together, we’re going to make records.” and by the sounds of this new single, pretty damn fine records at that.
