Sounds Like:

"A perfect collection of Dismemberment Plan chorus catches and limey At The Drive-In sloganeering... The best underground party you were never cool enough to be invited to." Drowned In Sound

"All the great angular bits of iForward, Russia! but instead of lacing everything with multi-story post-rock, they've slipped soft Idlewild-esque indie pop in between the cracks - a very good trick." NME

"A charming live band. Sublime, intricate songs and mesmerising stage presence." Rock Sound

"Super-smart, magnificently melodic and overtly original pop." Music Week

"Dance punk is the future, and Middlesbrough three-piece Dartz! are the leaders of the revolution. Imagine the eccentricities and sharp angles of Fugazi coupled with the dance grooves of Washington's Q And Not U..." Metal Hammer

"One of the most under-rated bands in the country" Steve Lamacq (Radio 1)

"I've never really got everyone's love of Dartz! and I find them bemusingly overrated." Punktastic

"A band with the energy and passion to go anywhere they desire. KKKK" Kerrang!

"Dartz! have more cool songs on their debut album than most bands deliver over careers." Artrocker

"Pretty damn special... If you like Minus The Bear, Bloc Party, Hot Club De Paris or Q and Not U then you could well love Dartz. Impossible not to like." Big Cheese

"Math rock textures, crisp rhythms and melodic guitar spazzes. Think Braid and Q and Not U spruced up for high tea." Alternative Press

"Innovative guitar shapes." The Independent
