Nice review of DATURA4 “West Coast Highway Cosmic” via TERRASCOPE
The band are fronted by Australian Dom Mariani a man with quite a long list of former and current bands like DM3 and The Stems. With this album, like its predecessor, the band claims the territory of 70’s boogie, citing Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Beatles as heroes. So, much choogling, interesting arrangements and melodic […]
Great review of The BOBBY LEES “Skin Suit” via The CHICAGO READER
On the new album Skin Suit (Alive Natural Sound), produced by Jon Spencer, the band show they’ve got the chops and the weirdness to refresh vintage rock, punk, and blues (they do a gritty take on Bo Diddley’s “I’m a Man”) without the commercialism that has plagued other prominent garage bands of their generation.

9/10 review of DATURA4 “West Coast Highway Cosmic” via MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC
Everything about Datura4 screams “throwback”. The album covers they have, the sound, but there’s something else too. Their work ethic. It always strikes me when you read those histories of rock n roll and so forth, an album a year was normal, a couple in a year wasn’t unheard of either. Datura4 are bringing it […]

★★★★ 4 star review of DATURA4 “West Coast Highway Cosmic” via ALL MUSIC
The set’s biggest surprise is its final cut, “Evil People, Pt. 1.” Though under six minutes it feels like a jam track with serpentine organ, throbbing bass, and martial tom-toms overlaid with distorted guitars in a three-chord vamp that creates a hypnotic, head-wagging pulse as Mariani sings with malevolence at the heart of the mix.
