The Datsuns - Death Rattle Boogie

Review by Nick Hagan

The Datsuns are 2D, they're hopelessly chained to the past and all their stuff sort of sounds the same. But they're still completely awesome. »

'death rattle boogie' is the sound of one of the world's premiere rock 'n' roll bands, rediscovering the ferocious energy that first drove them to pick up their instruments with new interpretations of their influences and instincts coupled with a new found sophistication that comes at no cost to their trademark adrenalized immediacy. the datsuns are ready to show the world that death rattle boogie offers inarguable proof that they are more alive now than they've ever been. hitting hard with opener, 'gods are bored' to the from the frenetic 'death of me', the datsuns prove they've no plans to quit rocking the world to its core anytime soon. high energy rock and roll, that takes its cues from detroit rock action of the likes of mc5/stooges, the scandinavian high times of the hellacopters, and some classic knack / raspberries power pop...all with the datsuns' inimitable and infectious enthusiasm stamped over the end product.
