The Datsuns Get on the Melodic Generator

Welcome to today's edition of 'Yes, we're still alive'. Our guests today are Australia's rock-filled quartet The Datsuns, and we believe they have a rather special announcement.

The four-piece will be releasing a new album on October 6, 2008 going by the name of "Head Shunts", a title which the band is keen to point out is an anagram of their band name. We doubt however, that Apollo Sunshine will be suing them anytime soon. We'd also advise against every band taking this approach to album naming, although, we would quite like to see the next Alanis Morissette album going by the name of "Toe Slime In Rat Ass" - which, oddly enough would likely be a sentence that figured into the review of said album.
