About Me

Formed in 2005 in the Midlands UK, the Dastards
are in the new vanguard of bands that just don't really fit into any of the typical genres. Dastards combine clever lyrics with intricate guitar patterns and distinctive vocals. Praised in the media for their idiosynchratic style and original sound the Dastards are going from strength to strength for such a new young band. Taking the DIY route (everything done in-house) means Dastards retain complete control of their image and career. We are looking for a publishing arrangement - so publishers get in touch!
