I listened to both D4 albums last night and watched a couple of their music videos. The only song I recognised was Get Loose;

It puts me in mind of a latter day Ramones, very fun to dance to at the time, but not much there to bring me back for multiple listens. The drummer is very skilled and pulls off the beats required at a cracking pace, but both the music and the lyrics are mostly paint-by-numbers stuff.

What I set out to search for was recordings of music by kiwi rock band The D4, whose albums "6TWENTY" and "Out Of My Head" were a big deal in early noughties Aotearoa. Like Weta, they mostly passed me by, in the shade of The Datsuns, and to a lesser extent Deja Voodoo. Perhaps for similar reasons they went dormant 2 years after releasing the sophomore album.

Recognise any of their songs and how do they hold up 20 years later? Find out;
