S1 E7: Dan & Rob from Darko Takeover!

Shout Louder Punk Podcast

Darko are simultaneously one of the hardest-working and hardest-partying bands we know. They are all dedicated, intelligent and serious musicians... but that doesn’t mean that they’re above telling us about shitting a tent at Punk Rock Holiday. Join us for this special episode of the Shout Louder Podcast with Dan Smith and Rob Piper of Guildford’s melodic hardcore tour-de-force: Darko. We have an in-depth chat, finishing with the most embarrassing Worst Time story we’ve heard yet. We also tell the tale behind the ‘summer cocktail’ bundle they have recently announced, with a gorgeous yellow/pink/blue splatter re-press of their stunning album Bonsai Mammoth, which you can pick up here: https://www.lockjawrecords.co.uk/shop/darko-bonsai-mammoth-summer-cocktail-variant-12-vinyl/ You can also enjoy music from Forever Unclean, Money Left To Burn and A Wilhelm Scream. And Rob gets shat on by a bird. You wouldn’t want to miss that. The songs featured in this episode are: - Darko - Life Forms - Forever Unclean - Worthless - Money Left To Burn - Victimized - A Wilhelm Scream - Boat Builders Darko are out on tour with A Wilhelm Scream later in June.
