    The Datsuns were part of the garage rock trend (yes garage rock was fashionable during this period), set years ago by groups like the hives, etc... But garage rock is now dead and subpar bands like THE datsuns (and others "THE" bands), are now in process of extinction. By the way, Franz Ferdinand are not in any sense, a kind of trend or fashion as Sam M pretends. Franz Ferdinand are simply good.

    Halfway through... it becomes a directionless mess. [Jul 2004, p.113]

    They are still greasy rock & rollers who know how to keep a party going. [Oct 2004, p.120]
  3. For people awaiting that second Jet album, this should prove a welcome distraction from their crayons. For the rest of us it's a look of bemusement and a scratched head.
