Shane’s Music Challenge: THE DATSUNS – 2002 – The Datsuns
8/10

Kiwis The Datsuns burst forth on their debut album with a record bristling with intent, passion and spunk.

There was no way that rock fans around the world could fail to notice the hairy foursome as they tore up stages with a full force hard rock assault, punk spirit and garage raucousness: it’s a mighty mix that asks no quarter nor offers any in return.

Ballads? Fuck off – this is full force rock all the way.

MF From Hell is a snarly slap in the face, Lady and Fink For The Man wrap up killer riffs in high-energy foil and serve them up dripping with sweat, beer and a sneer.

Harmonic Generator is even better – a stop-start riff that belts along at a unique and enthralling pace, it’s the standout track on an album bristling with intensity and gusto.
