DARTZ Biography
Pōneke pub-punks DARTZ have been flying the flag for scrappy Aotearoa garage rock since 2019 when frontman Danz yarned his way into an opening slot for The Chats, before realising he might need a band and some songs.
Quickly assembling in a Wellington flat, the four-piece started firing out their signature brand of fast-paced guitar-driven anthems, tackling everything from relatable tales of small town parents and racing to the pub after work, to hard-hitting takes on issues like drug testing and megachurch pastors.
A few years on, DARTZ have signed to legendary indie label Flying Nun, scored two NZ number one albums, toured Australia with party-punk counterparts Dune Rats, and supported international heroes like Turnstile and FIDLAR, all while still holding a NZ national record of playing 14 house parties in a day for Crate Day.
Recently anointed as “modern-day New Zealand folk heroes” by Rolling Stone, DARTZ’s sweat-filled live shows and hectic approach to touring have won them a reputation as NZ’s hardest working band, with appearances across the globe already in the works for 2025.
DARTZ is Crispy on guitar, Clark on bass, Rollyz on drums, and Danz on vocals.
