From the far distant shores of a Land Down Under comes "A way smokin' slab of psyched 'n furious jams, powered by amped up to 11 guitars and straight up boogaloo". (Vive le Rock UK). Fronted by iconic Aussie music legend Dom Mariani (The Stems, DM3, the Someloves) Datura4 combine full-tilt boogie, heavy psychedelia, blues and classic rock n roll. FULL TILT BOOGIE, BLUES AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK! Emerging from the port city of Fremantle in 2009, Datura4 deliver a gutsy revival of boogie, blues, and psychedelic hard rock - fused with a sound that’s unmistakably their own. Led by Dom Mariani (The Stems, DM3), and featuring Warren Hall on drums, Stu Loasby on bass, Bob Patient on keys, and Joe Grech on guitar and vocals, the band has built a solid legacy with five critically acclaimed albums on US label Alive Natural Sound Records: Demon Blues (2015), Hairy Mountain (2016), Blessed is the Boogie (2019), West Coast Highway Cosmic (2020), Neanderthal Jam (2022), and Invisible Hits (2023). Known for their explosive live shows, DATURA4 have toured extensively across Australia and Europe, carving out a reputation as one of the hardest-hitting bands on the circuit. Album number six High on The Low Brow was released June 2026. Rogue Records is very proud to release these two covers of Sixties classics. “I’m a Man” was originally recorded by The Spencer Davis Group, while “The Train Kept A-Rollin’” was popularized in the 1960s by The Yardbirds.

TWO NEW SINGLES FROM NEW ALBUM 'HIGH ON THE LOW BROW' DIRTY LAUNDRY , released on the 9th of May, is the first taste of Datura4's new album High On The Low Brow, released on Alive Naturalsound Records June 19, 2026. Dom Mariani; "I’ve always dug the 50's Delta-blues slide players and was keen to tip my hat to those guys and bring the band into a late 60s electric workout. When I wrote Dirty Laundry a friend was going through a tough time. Rumour spreads like wildfire and social media amplifies that tenfold, which can really mess with lives. I’ve seen this happen several times but I think people are now getting wise to making up their own minds instead of relying on what's on their screens." Check them out below, or choose your Music Service HERE . "Dirty Laundry combines classic Freddie King blues with woozy, desert-fried psychedelia, early 70s swagger and even a saxophone sojourn. Hooky, heavy, trippy but not too trippy – yeah, we’ll totally take that". Classic Rock Review May, 2026 GETTING THROUGH is pounding vintage rock energy, exploring themes of unrequited love and respect. Frontman Dom Mariani described the song as an intuitive studio jam that quickly evolved into something special, featuring “full throttle fuzz” guitar solos and a powerful, heavy sound that reflects the band’s signature blend of hard rock, garage rock, and psychedelia. "Driven by thick fuzz riffs, pounding grooves, and psychedelic textures, 'Getting Through' delivers the heavy retro-inspired sound that has become a hallmark of the band’s music. The track blends gritty hard rock with spacey keyboard flourishes and an infectious groove while exploring themes of unrequited love and respect."

"West Coast Highway Cosmic, Datura4's upcoming fourth album, sounds like it was made by a band that found a sheet of acid, the good stuff, tucked away in the back of the recording studio fridge, and rode it until the very last drop" Around the Sound "EMINENTLY GROOVEABLE, WITH IT WALK INTO A BAR IN MARSEILLES ON A SUNDAY NIGHT AND JUST KILL IT" MARK 'MAD DOG' SHAW | GET READY TO ROCK UK Check Out Reviews for all 5 Albums READ REVIEWS READ REVIEWS READ REVIEWS READ REVIEWS READ REVIEWS "It'll grab you like a Torana driver's handshake in the days before power steering." West Australian boogie masters DATURA4 return with their highly anticipated fifth album, “Neanderthal Jam”. Fronted by Dom Mariani of legendary Oz garage rockers The Stems, Neanderthal Jam is eleven new tracks of psychedelicised blues and full-tilt heavy rock that were jammed out and recorded at their favourite south-west farmhouse studio during the early months of 2021. Having already released 4 acclaimed albums on AliveNatural Records ‘Demon Blues’ (2015), Hairy Mountain (2016), Blessed is the Boogie (2019) and West Coast Highway Cosmic (2020), Neanderthal Jam sees them building upon and going beyond on another diverse collection of songs. Album opener ‘Going Back to Hoonsville’ gets things started with a relentless and pounding swing to get your hot wheels on. The jam is well and truly underway, and so the boogie gets heavy pursuing futile love in an inner sanctum on ‘Secret Society’ until the joyous organ groove and positive message of ‘Open the Line’ invites us to dance to the music. ‘Bad Times’ digs in on their OZ rock roots with a groove that the ‘Tatts’ (Rose Tattoo) would be proud of. ‘Black Speakers’ an d title track ‘Neanderthal Jam’ keep the jams cooking with Bob Patient’s keyboard playing prowess on display proving what a welcome addition he has been to the band. An acoustic prelude that is ‘Hold My Life’ leads things into a pummelling boogie riff on ‘Worried Man’s Boogie’ and sets the scene for personal concerns about a world and the times we find ourselves in. Drummer Warren (Wazza) Hall thumps out the beat to ‘black and purple’ on full-throttle rocker ‘Digging My Own Grave’ and we meet the Witchdoctor who takes us for a ride on the bayou with the rhythmic ‘Fish Fry’ until we get back on the open road with the epic sun-kissed west coast closer ‘Drive-By Island’. Dom Mariani - Guitar and Vocals, Warren Hall - Drums, Stu Loasby - Bass, Bob Patient - Keyboards, Joe Grech - Guitar and Vocals "Five Australian blokes walk into a bar in Marseilles on a Sunday night……and just kill it." Having appreciated these guys from a distance and reviewed Datura4’s excellent trio of albums (Demon Blues, Hairy Mountain and Blessed Is The Boogie), GRTR!’s almost-fearless correspondant was not going to pass up the chance to see a cool band from Fremantle, Western Australia playing ten minutes down the road (okay, it’s a two hour drive but relative to Fremantle…a short hop). Damn fine it was too. Now, Sunday nights in a Marseilles suburb of this musically-snooty, jazz-masturbatin’ nation is a tough nut to crack for anyone, let alone a bunch of Antipodean blues rockers – it’s also right in the middle of the journey from a handful of Italian gigs to a handful of Spanish gigs so why not, right ? And therein lies the cut of Datura4s jib – fronted by long-time Aussie journeyman guitar-slinger and singer/songwriter, Dom Mariani – build the band’s European footprint bit-by-bit, give us 90 minutes of your time and as you wave our bus westward, we’ll leave you thinking “merde, what the fuck jus t happened ?”. The nicely balanced set drew heavily on the newest album, Blessed Is The Boogie, and featured pacey rockers like “Ooh Poo Pah Doo”, the title track and “Run With Lucy” as well as spacey beauties “City of Lights”, “Not For Me” and “Evil People Pt.2”. The inclusion of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well” may be a personal favorite of the band……my only criticism – Datura4 (of which there are five) have enough slammin’ original material to not do covers. That’s picky, isn’t it ? Truth is you know you dig a band when you love the set and drive home listing the ones they didn’t play. “Confide In Me” from Hairy Mountain morphed into a punchy 12-bar jam and “Demon Blues” demonstrated Datura4’s ability to do dirty and dark as well as the power-pop which is clearly part of Mariani’s DNA. Spooky to me how much Mariani in full vocal flow, facially and “hirsutically” resembles very early ‘70s-era Joe Cocker. Some Fremantle-based, philosophical Aussie poet years ago said: “it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll”. If he was still with us, he might have added “and it’s a fucking crowded space these days but make sure you go see Datura4”. This was my second time doing the Marseilles trek – both times to see an honest and proper blues rock band do their thing – and I loved it both times. Now what was the name of that other band? Oh yeah, The Rolling Stones – so I’ve got a 100% record of seeing top quality gigs over there. Credit to Datura4 for taking this to the people and being prepared to conquer Europe, one room at a time. Remember back when word of mouth built reputations ? A roomful of Sunday-night converts in Marseilles will be speaking approvingly in tongues to their jazz-confused neighbors for a while about this. Mark “Mad Dog” Shaw|Get Ready to Rock U K

We recently filmed the video clip for ‘Dirty Laundry’ at The Hilton Park Wash House and you can check it out now! Thanks to Ben Frichot for putting it all and bringing it all together. Glide Magazine (USA) premiered the video and this is what they had to say; “Dirty Laundry is a swaggering work of blues-soaked rock and roll that comes out swinging and doesn’t let up until the listener is properly pummeled. With thick guitars that recall some of the best outfits of ballsy 70s rock and roll, the band balances shredding chops with a dirty groove that keeps this beast of a tune chugging forward. The addition of boogie-woogie piano and background vocals injects the tune with a healthy dose of soul to bring it on home. The video reflects the coolness at play with these longtime heavies”.

Thanks Alive Naturalsound for the vid.

Whenever we go in to make a new album we never know how it's gonna be received by those who spend most of their time listening to and judging such things. We're humbled by the positive reception for our new record so far and this review from Spanish outlet Dirty Rock Magazine makes all the hours we spent toiling away on High on the Low Brow totally worthy. "Dom Mariani, with decades of experience in Australian rock, once again demonstrates his excellent creative vitality at the helm of Datura4. Four years after “Neanderthal Jam,” the band returns with “High On The Low Brow,” their sixth studio album, a work that reclaims the essence of 70s blues rock with its own unique personality. In “High On The Low Brow,” Mariani and his bandmates have absorbed the spirit of that musical explosion that took place more than fifty years ago. Blues, hard rock, psychedelia, and boogie intertwine with absolute naturalness in an album that serves as a tribute to a golden age where “peace, love, and music” were in the air. Datura4 maintains an honest and truthful identity, and Mariani's ability to create songs is once again evident. This new work doesn't aim to impress through virtuosity or seek the spotlight. Its appeal lies precisely in the accessibility of its songs and a naturalness that transcends fleeting trends. Each composition finds its own space within open structures that allow for transitions from swampy blues passages to even more pop-oriented moments and more energetic developments bordering on classic hard rock. The instrumentation plays a fundamental role in the album's sonic richness. Guitar solos appear when needed, adding character without overshadowing the whole. Bob Patient's Hammond organ adds that characteristic and versatile touch, while guest saxophonist Billy Rogers introduces warm nuances to some of the tracks. All of this is underpinned by the solid rhythm section of drummer Warren Hall. Mariani's voice once again fits perfectly into each song. His performance conveys credibility and connects seamlessly in every passage. Datura4 continues to explore the legacy of rock from half a century ago and presents it to us with extraordinary viability in 2026. The result is a warm album capable of alternating between tranquil moments and bursts of energy, achieving a coherent work that remains true to Datura4's identity."
