Review

Q (p.140) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] craftily woven mixture of typical, turbo-charged punk such as 'System Overload' and more complex fare that reaches a peak with the startling closer 'Too Little Fire'..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "Dolf Datsun's carnal holler leers like prime Robert Plant, while wailing girl-group backing singers crank the thrills even higher."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]heir forte remains unashamed headbanger action -- witness the high energy ramalama of 'Maximum Heartbreak'..."

Title Note

Audio Mixers: Nick Abbott; Cenzo Townshend.

This 2006 import (reissued stateside in 2008) concocts a fiery fusion of proto-punk, garage stomp, and slide-guitar blues. What separates these New Zealanders from most of their raw, garage-revivalist peers is their knack for melody. "Such A Pretty Curse" and "Blood Red" both draw their energy from catchy hooks. But elsewhere, "Emperor's New Clothes" and "Tiny Dlunder Stolen Thunder" go for straight-ahead gusto. There are even a couple of ragged, jangly ballads to balance out the affair, highlighted by album closer (and possible response/ode to The Rolling Stones) "Don't Shine Your Light On Me."

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Antipodeans delight, the boys from down under have done it again! Proving that they are bigger and better than Flight Of The Concorde's, their third offering 'Smoke & Mirrors' is a rock and roll standard, following all the necessary ingredients of heady lyrics, swirling overlaid riffs, southern style slide and hedonistic propensities.

After falling off the rails somewhat with 'Outta Sight/Outta Mind', it's back to pure adrenaline racing 3 minute catchy tunes. However, there is a more considered amount of production resulting is better all round output and probably their most developed recording to date.

Never before been available in North America including two exclusive bonus tracks!
