The album, which comes out on Friday, took three years to make and was ready in 2019, but the Covid-19 pandemic delayed its release.
Releasing an album without being able to tour wasn t ideal, but the band had delayed it long enough, and it was a mental release for it to finally be coming out, de Borst said.
The band formed while still in high school in Cambridge in 1995 and went on to tour the world and release six albums, the last which was released in 2014. If you think of the kind of band The Datsuns is and the music we made, it still fits very much under that kind of umbrella. It s rock music, obviously influenced by a lot of 60s and 70s stuff, de Borst said of Eye to Eye.
40 years ago WORT was still a young radio station, with studios on
Winnebago Street and the frequency at
89.7 FM. Back then every Saturday, sandwiched between
Jah Tony and
Reasonable Facsimile” played the newest of the new on his show
New Needles. His program captured the zeitgeist of a special time when “new music”
was New Music: experimental, revolutionary, and certainly a departure from much of the past – a far cry from today, when everything under the sun has already been done.
In a very extra-special episode of
Friday On My Mind, Reasonable Facsimile returns for one night only to bring us some of the magic that was New Needles. Listen live on the airwaves or through the live stream, or check out the show on the WORT archive for up to two weeks.

Although it s never really been proven in any quantifiable way, a recent narrative has emerged that show business favours music that has been written and produced to favour the algorithms on streaming services. It s a fun little conspiracy theory for people who can t quite come to terms with the fact that no one likes their band, but even if it s true in some way, what s the big deal? When it comes to music recommendations, an algorithm is far better than any music writer. After all, computer servers aren t trying to get on the guestlist, buddy up with publicists or angle for key follow backs on Twitter. They re simply spying on you to give you exactly what you already want.
The Best Song You’ve Never Heard: “These Words” by The Lemon Twigs
Keeping timeless music alive is one of our missions at KXT. New music is core to who we are as well, but some sounds deserve to be remembered forever. For today’s The Best Song You’ve Never Heard, we have a little of both in one song.
Brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario grew up on Long Island with a musical theater background. Both performed on Broadway and Michael even had a few TV appearances. That experience bled into their music tastes outside of the theater as they were attracted to a lot of the theatrical rock artists of the 1970s like Todd Rundgren, Elton John, and others.
