The Datsuns are a hard rock band spawning from Cambridge, New Zealand formed over a decade ago. And with over a decade of experience under their belts it’s not surprising they create an evening of well-formed delights mixing classic rock tones and a heavy drums. The band has played alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Korn and Marilyn Manson and even supported Metallica on the New Zealand leg of their tour, which shows the kind of league The Datsuns belong to.
Rudolf de Borst the well-named vocalist offers a lot of variation to his vocal output, mixing styles similar to Axel Rose in some cases, Kurt Cobain and sometimes the screechiness Jack White in others.
There is a brilliant symbol sound to the drums that helps create a sense of drama, like with each hit there’s a crash to the heart. The heavy-guitar riffage throughout are complex and often lead into beautifully long-winded and winding guitar solos, that has the effect of most of the audience around me breaking out their air guitars and attempting to play along.
The band are set to release their sixth studio album towards the tail end of 2014 and I personally cannot wait.
