New album, 'Headstunts' out NOW (Cooking Vinyl)
“The Datsuns are heads above and years ahead of most of their contemporaries and are one of the few retro-rockers to actually have songs to go along with their raucous sound.” Chart Attack
“Eye of the Needle" rides some space-guitar swirl atop its Gary Glitter rumble, and the more concise and gang-shouty "Highschool Hoodlums" could've halfway passed as Antmusic in 1981” Spin
“The album drips powerful riffs, crunching guitars, all coming at you from a basis of some strong melodies. A case in point is the unputdownable “Your Bones”. Part punk pop, part whatever you want to call it, it thunders along with a hugely memorable song that will have you unconsciously humming the damn thing at the most embarrassing moments.” BlogCritics
“Amid a rush of guitars and migraine-inducing drums, singer Dolf de Borst rants and raves with wild-eyed fervor, but thoughtful twists lurk within the noise of songs…” Mother Jones
“High School Hoodlums is like any song about school done by 30-somethings: amazing. Best of all is Eye Of The Needle, an epic Doors-y inside a bag of popcorn.” NME
“Headstunts stands alone as a pretty fine effort; enough melody and rhythm (‘Ready, Set, Go!’) to avoid total hearing decay, but some super fine prog moments too (‘Eye Of The Needle’) and of course, countless crouch-grinding, ’70s guitar solos.” Clash
“The riffs are thunderous, teetering between punk and metal like early Motorhead, Human Error and So Long are powerful enough to rearrange the atoms in your head.” Classic Rock
