| | Sounds Like | In 2007 people have said lovely things!
Channel 4 Teletext: Demo of the Week - 8/10.
"Propulsive classic ‘80s indie fire in The Bunnymen Mould. There’s ambition here that deserves to be matched by a slavering fanbase - 8/10" John Earls
Sandman:
“Dark Sparks immediately take my aural hand and guide me to a far more exciting place… a passionate cry for attention, bass driven, pounding drum beats, as if Editors had the new youth drive of Bloc Party.”
High Voltage:
“With jangly guitars, gloriously furious drums, vocal harmonies and contagious lyrics Dark Sparks could prove to be something quite special. 4/5”
The Mag:
"It takes balls to tackle subjects like this and Dark Sparks have the sincerity to pull it off. Watch out for these indie-disco-wave pioneers!"
Our Iron Lung:
"Held together by skilfull guitar work and capivating vocal lines it felt like a special moment was dawning over the night. Suddenly people were dancing..."
Time For Heroes:
"Blood Petrol Fire is a belter with Leigh Greenwood’s vocals giving off a sense of pure anguish while the guitars flurry around the lyrics with menacing intent - it defies belief that such a talented band remain unsigned."
In 2007 we have played with some wonderful bands and some rubbish bands. Here are some of the well known ones. There’s a mix… Boy Kill Boy, The Enemy, The Whip, We Start Fires, The Departure, The Strange Death of Liberal England, The Hiss, The Courteeners, The Twang, Komakino, Louie and Air Traffic.
