About Me

The daps are twin brothers originally from Cardiff but now plying our trade in London. After the self destruction of the band we were in we decided it was time to go it alone and formed The daps early in 2004. Driven by a desire to bring our unique blend of melodic indie pop to a global audience, we set about writing an album 'While the world still turns', a few of the songs from this album turn up on this site from time to time. We're currently in the process of recording our as yet untitled second album and 'From There To Where' and 'Shadows', the first two songs to be finished so far can be heard above. We're hoping to hit the live scene again later this year. If you like what you hear make sure you add us!
