The Darts

THE DARTS exploded onto the scene in 2016 with a fiercely classic sound that invests deeply in late 60’s garage, with shadows of horror pop and tinges of psychedelic rock - the perfect act for the Bride of Frankenstein's bachelorette party. The band formed in 2016 and wrote and released two EPs within months. In 2017, the band signed with Dirty Water Records (UK) and released its 1st full-length album, ME.OW. In 2018, Jello Biafra's legendary punk label Alternative Tentacles Records released their first 7” record and and in 2018, The Darts did a US tour with The Damned. Biafra then released their 3rd album in 2019 and the band crisscrossed the US and Europe many times thereafter including performances at major festivals like Sjock Fest and Punk Rock Bowling, performing with The Black Lips, Joan Jett, The Dwarves, Dead Kennedys, Devo, and Turbonegro. They have backed both Biafra and Dwarves' frontman Blag Dahlia live on stages and were featured on tv’s Peaky Blinders. Crowdfunded album SNAKE OIL came out March 2023, co-produced by Jello Biafra himself, followed by nearly 100 dates in Europe, UK, and US and an appearance on famed KEXP. New album BOOMERANG comes out on Alternative Tentacles Records In APRIL 2024!
