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

i have only just properly got my voice back today after the peel! it was such a good show. the 14 hours on national express coaches i braved for you guys to get there were totally worth it, and luckily i didn't get a bruise on my forehead from the basshead to the face i received, either, haha.

Great Final gig last night. Picked up a copy of the new & final cd, and managed to lose it on the train home along with my camera, and all the pictures I took. Gutted.

Is there any where we can buy the new cd at all?

Good luck for the future...

Was great seeing you guys last night - you'll be missed, but looking forward to whatever forms you may become in future. I was sat with the guy who ended up with the cowbell on the train home, other passengers found it quite enthralling!

Fantastic Apparatus can never be surpassed, in my opinion, although it would have been nice if you'd stayed together a bit longer to give it another go. All the best. This is My Ship is going back on repeat for the foreseeable future.

So I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for the past 4 years. So... thanks!

If you did play your songs in reverse chronological order last night as it sounded, then that was a nice touch.

Good luck with everything! DARTZ IS GOOD! FOR YOUR BRAIN!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
