The Datsuns blazed into global consciousness with their 2002 self-titled debut, a record that topped the NZ charts and hurled them onto stages with Metallica, The White Stripes, and Queens of the Stone Age. Over the past two decades, they’ve released seven albums, worked with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and remain an absolutely potent live act.

Their Aussie run promises to be filled with savage hooks, honed to perfection, delivering Stoogeoid evil, powerpop crunch and the classic proto rawk assault & battery they are world renowned for.

Scandinavian drummer Adam Lindmark will drive the beast forward locking in with
Dolf de Borst on bass. While upfront lead string wrangler and vocalist, Christian Livingstone, and rhythmic meister Phil Somervell bring a stack of raw, unfiltered and oh so good riffage.

Expect the full sweep of The Datsuns’ catalogue, from the anthems that scorched their early path to the first sparks of their eighth studio album, set to arrive in 2026. Leading the charge for their 2026 record, the single ‘Ugly Leather’ tears in with jagged riffs, and unrelenting fire – old energy, new fuel, same unstoppable inferno.Prepare yourselves: the DATSUNS are back, and the rock will rise again.

Last month, Melbourne’s elite vintage rock act, Devil Electric came roaring back with Tahlia, the first single from their upcoming third studio album of the same name. It was their first music in half a decade and what a triumphant return it was.

With the impending release of Tahlia the album, dropping like a ten tonne heavy thing on Friday, March 27, the band have released their next slab of epic doom via the monstrous, This Hereafter.

A 9-minute riff-heavy marathon of tension and release through epic highs and crushing lows. This Hereafter, feels like pushing a boulder through desert sands before finally reaching an oasis. Lyrically the most vulnerable moment on the record, the raw emotion is unmistakable, with Pierina’s voice audibly breaking in the closing lines, leaving the listener with a fragile but undeniable glimmer of hope.

It’s a showcase of the bands immersive songwriting and is a pivotal moment over all within the album itself.

DEVIL ELECTRIC RETURN WITH TAHLIA:
A HEAVY RECKONING FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING

After five years, Devil Electric roar back with Tahlia, their third studio album and most emotionally charged release to date.

At its core, Tahlia is an album about fracture and survival, pain, frustration, and relationships breaking under pressure. Uncannily, its themes mirror the years that followed its recording, which only strengthen the emotive undertones of Tahlia. Delivered through soaring vocals, unforgettable hooks, and searing riffs.

The journey begins with the title track and first single, “Tahlia” a riff-driven return to the band’s classic sound. It charts a visceral descent from rock bottom to redemption. A tango between vintage doom metal and modern heavy rock. Tahlia is a homage to the Latin phrase “that which nourishes me, destroys me” told through a blend of energetic verses, chanting choruses, and moody riffs. All designed to leave the listener in an enigmatic state of mind.From there the band changes pace with “Jill and jack shit,” a swaggering, attitude-laden track that is cut full of spitting vocals and sharp edges, proudly tipping its hat to the grit and character of the band’s hometown, Melbourne.

“Weirdos” pushes the pace further, embracing a punchy, contemporary hard rock energy before diving into more experimental territory with “When We Talk About Nothing.” Inspired by Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, the track strips things back and drags the listener into a heavier, more peeled back space that sets up the epic and hard-hitting “Acid Bath”.

“Acid Bath,” is an instrumental collaboration featuring Lex Waterreus of Seedy Jezus. A slow-burn descent into hazy unease, the track builds an immense wall of sound. The souring guitar solo and unhinged vocal loops by Lex will ensure this song is played on repeat, as it will tickle heavy rock, psychedelic and doom fans alike.

All paths lead to “This Hereafter,” the album’s final track; the longest and most epic doom offering by Devil Electric. Clocking in at nine minutes, it is a marathon of tension and release through epic highs and crushing lows that feel like pushing a boulder through desert sands before finally reaching an oasis. Lyrically the most vulnerable moment on the record, the raw emotion is unmistakable, with Pierina’s voice audibly breaking in the closing lines, leaving the listener with a fragile but undeniable glimmer of hope.

Balancing heavy rock and doom with a contemporary edge, Tahlia is an album that demands to be felt start to finish. Soaring, immersive, and deeply personal, it marks a powerful chapter for Devil Electric and one well worth the wait.

Black Sabbath, Graveyard, Kadavar, The Dead Weather, Blues Pills, The Well, Electric Citizen…
