The Darts (U.S.)

**The Darts (U.S.)** is a fiery garage-rock quartet hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, known for their raw energy, fuzzy guitars, and unapologetically fun vibe. Formed in 2016, the band features Nicole Laurenne (The Bomb, Motobunny) on vocals/keys, Christina Nunez (The Love Me Nots) on bass, Rikki Styxx (The Two Tens) on drums, and Meliza Jackson on guitar, delivering a punchy blend of retro garage-punk with a modern twist. Their music channels a rebellious, lo-fi spirit, often leaning into themes of love, chaos, and mischief, as heard in tracks like "Love Tsunami" and the cheeky "I Like You but Not Like That." With releases like *Boomerang* and *Love U 2 Death*, they’ve carved out a niche for catchy, riff-heavy bangers that feel ripped straight from a sweaty, neon-lit dive bar. The Darts thrive on high-octane live shows and a DIY ethos, making them a must-listen for fans of garage rock revival.
