The D4 - 6Twenty
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

The D4 - 6TwentyLike The Datsuns, The D4 is part of a growing garage-rock contingent from New Zealand. Both bands play loud and fast, with more than a few nods to AC/DC and Motorhead. But where The D4 differs is with the bluesy swagger of tracks like “Ladies Man” and “Pirate Love.” Otherwise, it’s all cautionary tales about wanton hussies (“Heartbreaker”) and hedonistic hymns like “Party” and “Exit to the City” about busting out on Saturday night. The band’s credo: “Get up, get out and get loose.” Party on!
