DASTARDS - formed in 2005 by Wake & Chris. Immediately spotted by a world famous music impressario (who was impressed by Wake's weird and wonderful wobbly helium voice) the Dastards found themselves recording 'Shami Chakrabarti' with producer Steve Levine (Culture Club, Beach Boys etc.) The press came running and DASTARDS were launched.
Now concentrating on Wakes own compostions the latest single is Flashlights (a direct follow on from David Bowie's Space Oddity).
"What a great number 'Flashlights' is. It's as commercial as hell and once again shows what this sonofa' has to offer the music world.
There's no doubt whatsoever that the heart and driving force of Dastards is the unique and exciting singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, Wake. And this guy is something quite special, very special, frighteningly special!!
'Flashlights' is rammed full of good things. It's bulging with interest; right from the pop-synth intro, through the nu-folk undertones and onto the catchy, melodic indie/rock vibe it's fantastic!"
