The Darts - Shit Show

  

  So what's on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show you're no doubt all thinking. You aren't? Well I'm going to plug the show anyway as it's gonna be another unmissable hour's worth of killer new releases, including the song I'm featuring below. The show starts later today at 8pm (UK time) before getting played on various online radio stations around the globe and then getting uploaded to Mixcloud next Sunday. You can find more details here (please feel free to join the chatroom if you listen live as it's usually good fun in there) :  https://www.facebook.com/events/4791430500968165/

  The Darts (https://www.facebook.com/thedartsUS) are a garage punk band from Phoenix, Arizona who's tag line says "If Elvira & Wednesday Adams did shots of snake venom at a bachelorette party, that's The Darts." They've released a couple of Self Titled eps and 2 albums, Me. Ow. (2017) & I Like You But Not Like That (2019), and a single titled Subsonic Dream.
