Great review of DATURA4 “West Coast Highway Cosmic” via AMERICAN BLUES SCENE

West Coast Highway Cosmic has everything I love

If you were lucky enough to grow up in the 60s and 70s, you know that the music coming out at that time had a certain vibe. We’re not talking about the bubble-gum pop that was prevalent on the AM stations of the day. This is that blues based, uber-overdriven, gritty sound that blasted on many a stereo. Australian rockers Datura4 have captured not just the sound, but that whole atmospheric ambience on their latest release, West Coast Highway Cosmic. – AMERICAN BLUES SCENE HERE

Listen to DATURA4 “Rule My World” via CLASSIC ROCK – Tracks of the Week

You might recognize Dom Mariani as the frontman of Aussie garage rockers The Stems, or 90s power-pop group DM3. Either way, he’s got form on the songwriting front, which translates beautifully into his new record with Datura4. This latest single – a filthy yet brightly melodic swirl of woozy 12-bar blues and stompy psychedelia – harks particularly strongly back to his bluesy, full-tilt boogie roots.  – CLASSIC ROCK / LOUDER

Nice review of DATURA4 “West Coast Highway Cosmic” via HARMONIC DISTORTION

My listening album of choice this week has been the newie by Australian rockers Datura4. West Coast Highway Cosmic is a celebration of travel, rendered in old school boogie blues rock. The kind of album that sounds best when played loud (…) There are those that say rock is long dead. On the evidence here don’t believe it. – HARMONIC DISTORTION

DATURA4 “Mother Medusa” featured by KERRANG! – 5 Songs You Need To Hear Right Now (March 30, 2020)

You could say that Australian quartet Datura4 play highway rock, stoner metal, chill doom or downer chug, and you’d be right on all fronts, the band striking that perfect spot between overdriven and stripped down. Mother Medusa brings all sand-scattered windows-down attitude you could ask for, featuring an awesome central riff, some cardboard-ish opening toms, and a writhing harmonized solo in the middle that sounds like the hair of the song’s namesake. – KERRANG!
