   About THE DACOITS
REVIEWS FOR THE NEW EP 'DUMBSTRUCK'

"an exciting return to the days when indie was genuinely alternative. The Dacoits might just be the band who can rescue indie rock from the Coldplay clones..."
OXFORDBANDS.COM

“The dacoits have brought us some serious magic here in the form of 5 tracks of PJ Harvey inspired garage rock. The song writing is fantastic ....the best record I have been sent to date.”
THE OCELOT

The Dacoits could well be on their way to robbing the title of the band to watch over the next few months"
OXFORDSHIRE MUSIC SCENE

“This is an album of raw emotion, subjects that reside in the heart rather than the head, and delivered in a way that makes you believe that every angst ridden sentence is pulled from real life.”
FREQUENCY MAGAZINE

“When Benjamin Britten spoke of music having “the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never satisfied love”, I’d like to think he had listened to the Dacoit’s recent release”…. for Dumbstruck is all this and more….”
Dave franklin (www.mmamalbums.blogspot.co.uk)

"husky darkminded garage pop.... stadiumsized grunge-pop fame and fortune is within reach."
OXFORD NIGHTSHIFT

The Dacoits they have recently completed their EP Dumbstruck, which was produced in-house with the help of Chris Sheldon. (FooFighters/Oceansize/Idlewild/Pixies).

Their debut album is being mixed.

Hey!

We realise how this is quite obviously automated and you will probably consider it as spam and ignore it.. but if you are feeling the need for a some fresh new music please visit our page and give our new EP a listen. We've worked really hard on it and had some excellent feedback so far and would love to hear what you guys think.

"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.

"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with great conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.

It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.

Thank you for organising such a magical gig last night. It was lovely to hear the Dacoits unplugged, your songs sounded really special last night, and I would love to hear you do more acoustically.
