The Bats – The Guilty Office
Listening to an album by The Bats could as easily evoke scenes of back porch beer-drinking as rifling through a musty attic, brushing away rodent droppings whilst flicking through a box of old vinyl.

The fourth album from New Zealand rockers The Datsuns sees something of a return to form. Dumb rock-out fun with bits of glam thrown in for good measure? Don’t mind if I do!
