Track: The Datsuns release new single Caught in the Silver, plus album news
Sometimes things align just right. For New Zealand rockers The Datsuns it was all four members being in the same city, the gods of classic rock and roll looking down on them favourably as they followed their lead in the songwriting, and allowing their influences – in this case 1970s cult film super-villains and 1970s …

New Music: Dressmaker – Glass
Emerging from the London fog in 2013, Dressmaker have built up quite a reputation as a must see live act. Fearsomely loud, unashamedly menacing, their mix of rough cut, raw nerve guitars over waves of delicious feedback is a heady cocktail that will have you wrestling your comparisons between Joy Division, Jesus & Mary Chain, …
