The Datsuns, a New Zealand hard rock band, rose to fame in the early 2000s with their raw garage energetic rock sound. Their 2002 debut was a major hit, especially in New Zealand and the UK. They released several albums, including Outta Sight/Outta Mind (2004), Smoke & Mirrors (2006), and Deep Sleep (2014), maintaining their signature hard rock style into their seventh album, Eye to Eye (2021). The Datsuns’ music is infused with a sleazy, vintage rock ‘n’ roll vibe, echoing the intensity of bands like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, while also incorporating elements of psychedelic rock, especially in their later work. Their tracks often feel like a rush of adrenaline, designed to be loud, fast, and unapologetically rock ‘n’ roll.
