Bio

DarkWater are a three piece Taranaki, alternative Rock band formed in 2009.

DarkWater started life as a four piece, after a line-up change, they are now a hard hitting three piece. Their first year together was spent developing their sound and style, which has developed into a gripping yet gritty sound with a heaviness that enfolds melody.

DarkWater have already started making a name for themselves having played at G Taranaki and opening for Shihad, The Feelers, I Am Giant and The Checks in their home town of New Plymouth.

To date DarkWater have achieved radio play on radio stations The Most, Cruize FM and B1FM (Brazil-based) as well as radio interviews on The Most and Raglan radio show Tractor FM. Print reviews and interviews have been in local newspapers and the New Zealand Musician Magazine.

“Dynamic, alternative rock with strong songwriting, hooks and warm melodies” ... "you won’t know what’s hit you...” - New Zealand Musician Magazine 2010

“.. Evoking the early sound of a number of other bands – Incubus and Everclear to name just a couple – their music treads the line between melodic and downright heavy. ...the powerful, relentless guitar and drums make for a sound that ensures you sit make for a sound that ensures you sit make for a sound that ensures you sit up and listen..." - Ben Martin
