Quotes and Reviews about us from various venues and promoters…
Impact 89FM the Basement in the top local tracks for 2007: The Rose
“One of the advantages of doing small venue shows is that you get to see bands grow their sound from a seed into a following. The Darts is one of those bands that I'll be happy to say, "They played at Replay before they got big." You can tell when a band is serious about their music by their attitude: This band does shows so they can PLAY.” - Ted from The Replay Entertainment Exchange
"One of the bands that I saw in the competition really blew me away. That band would be The Darts. The Darts play an alternating mix of gritty garage rock and smooth, poppy indie rock with some nice guitar noise mixed in. They are sort of like a combination of the Vines, Sonic Youth and a pile of greasy dirty car parts heaped against the wall of a tool shed." - John Cooper (BoDog Battle of the Bands Judge)
“The Darts combine high-energy stage presence with a fierce knowledge of crowd dynamics and energetic pace.” - Peter from (SCENE) Metrospace
“Gritty, frantic, garage rock...likely to slap you in the face with pure rock n’ roll” - Dave Suchanek Producer from Bigger Brush Studios
Thanks guys. I like your shit too. Im getting sick of all the trash talking going on on the grd thing though. I know it wasnt on your guys's side that much. We didnt say one bad thing about any of the other bands. Ill say one thing for sure though. Dont let those fucking wobbly wombats beat you guys!! Lol. Maybe we could play a show together sometime. See ya
Hey, thanks for friending me! I'm just a local who never knew where 2 go so I built this site in my spare time. It's all user generated so I really need some help uploading cool bars and specials. I also made up a place where we can post events too. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am still building it so if you have any suggestions, I can usually put them in right away. The site's address is yourareacode.com. Thanks again!

I would love for all of you to play backup on the 17th if you're interested. Jake Simmons may be joining with some slide guitar too! I'm looking forward to it!
Not too bad ... and yourselves? Heard about you guys from The Hard Lessons and decided to check out your page yesterday while bored at work. Liked what I heard, so figured I'd add you. I'll try to make it out to a show sometime soon too.
