The Datsuns revel in 1970s cult film super-villains for new album, Deep Sleep, released 3rd October 2014 via Hellsquad/Valve records through MGM.
To celebrate the release of the new album, The Datsuns have announced an Australian tour that will see the Kiwi rockers travel around the country this December.
Seizing the opportunity of being in the same city, Deep Sleep was written and 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.
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.”
Deep Sleep elaborates on their signature breakneck-paced rock’n’roll delving into more menacing terrain summoned from the bands collective proto-metal 70s influences; Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and Bloodrock, to name a few.
Semi-tones are thrown in amongst blues scale riffs creating a darker, more evil sound that summons images of 1970s cult film super-villains.
Don’t miss your opportunity to see The Datsuns live this Summer.
