THE DATSUNS – EYE TO EYE – ALBUM REVIEW

The massive mainstream success of Nu-Metal in the late nineties and early 2000’s over shone a generation of great bands. Whilst these bands still achieved some success, in the long run the oversaturation of nu-metal on the rock and metal scene led to the stifling of the long term success of many great bands. Most of these bands have long disappeared but one still plugging away is The Datsuns.

The New Zealand natives enjoyed moderate success with the release of their self-titled debut in 2002. Since then they have continued to release consistently good music, without the same acclaim. Some say that rock died years ago, but in reality the mainstream simply moved on. There are still many great bands doing their thing, some new and some, in the case of The Datsuns, slightly older!

Listen to our Spotify Hot List!

‘Eye to Eye’ is the latest album from the band and is another solid addition to their back catalogue. Had the band emerged in the last year or two, they’d likely be clumped in with the so called New Wave of Classic Rock. Hitting the waves when they did they inevitably were designated to the garage rock revival that coincided with the end of nu-metal. Call them what you want, but really The Datsuns are just a great rock ‘n’ roll band.

From opening track ‘Dehumanise’ through the likes of ‘White Noise Machine’ and ‘Sweet Talk’ the band showcase their credentials and establish ‘Eye To Eye’ as another victory for a band who refuse to die. These songs are perfect for the live setting, a sweaty, dirty little club to be precise.

Hopefully when the world opens up again, The Datsuns can head back to the UK and showcase their talents again. The band deserve far more recognition than they receive, as do a whole generation of great rock bands. The Datsuns continue to wave that flag and the likes of ‘Brain to Brain’ and ‘Moongazer’ justify their tenacity!

We roundup the best music news from the past week!

Full Pelt Music Weekly News Report Roundup

Every week we roundup the best music news from the past week in our News Report. To stay up to date with the biggest news be sure to follow us on our social channels:

Is the return of live music on the horizon?

Reading & Leeds Festival announce sell out

This week we all listened with bated breath as the government announced their “roadmap” out of lockdown. Alongside various other steps that impact on the music industry was a date of June 21st. This is the date that, all being well, all social distancing laws will end.

This announcement clearly paving the way for the return of live music in the form we all know and love. Whilst we are optimistic, we are cautiously so. After all, when has anything gone to plan during this past year. Also, the safety of all involved must remain paramount.

But, we hope that the stars are aligning and we will all be together in a room or field across the country very soon. With all this in mind, this week has seen music fans prove the viability of the industry by flocking to purchase tickets for the return of music festivals.

Many festivals, big and small, have very quickly sold out all tickets, with Reading & Leeds Festivals leading the way. Festivals with no announced line-ups are even starting to sell out. This is fantastic news for festivals and all of the live music industry. Where the government has forgotten the industry, the fans have not.

See you at the barrier soon!
