With a fairly unique blend of ganja-grooves and big, retro-vocals, Datura4 have duxed it again with “Hairy Mountain” – they may be from beyond the Black Stump, but this album is ripper. Fire up the mull and tell me I’m wrong. – READ THE REVIEW HERE
Awesome review of HOLLIS BROWN “Cluster Of Pearls” from NO DEPRESSION
Having already earned their kudos from the critics and found their way onto various TV and film soundtracks, Cluster of Pearls not only seems like further affirmation of their rapid rise, but also another promise of greater glories yet to come. – READ THE REVIEW HERE

5 beers ★★★★★ review of DATURA4 “Hairy Mountain” from I94 BAR
There’s a deeper psychedelic vein running through “Hairy Mountain” than its predecessor and the songs are just a touch stronger. Dom Mariani and Greg Hitchcock have solidified what was probably a fun idea involving teenage bandmates reuniting into a serious guitar partnership with some scorching sonic explorations. And the gun rhythm section of Warren Hall (drums) and Stu Loasby sounds in command and totally at home. – READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW HERE
8/10 review of JAMES LEG “Blood On The Keys” from VIVE LE ROCK
The BONNEVILLES “Arrow Pierce My Heart” #8 on the Best of 2016– If All You Like Is Everything list
JAMES LEG “Blood On The Keys” review in ELMORE MAGAZINE
With a backing band tight enough to handle any backbeat and shuffle Leg throws out, this crew packs as much musical badassery into a lean 35 minutes as your usual rocker manages in two hours. They leave your eardrums ringing before the opener “Human Lawn Dart” is over (and that title nicely shows the attitude you’re dealing with already). Everyone tears it up from the frenzy of “St Michel Shuffle” to the greasiest boogie you’ve ever heard in “Dogjaw.” – READ THE REVIEW HERE
