Dartz! formed less than a year ago by a drummer and a guitarist who thought it'd be funny to swap instruments. DARTZ! are three young men from North Yorkshire who combine influences such as Q and Not U, The Shins and Idlewild to create a post-punk/indie-rock/math-pop sound that's earned them praise from, amongst others, the likes of XFM's John Kennedy, Maximo Park frontman Paul Smith and of course, BBC 6 Music's very own Steve Lamacq. 'They flavour their dance oriented spikiness with enough pop to put them in the charts. Already big favourites on the show since October they could well be the nation's favourites by the end of next year. Let them teach you to dance now.' John Kennedy (XFM)
