WE ARE JUST FLIES REVIEWS



KERRANG RADIO, DJ ALEX BAKER

“They’re like an art rock horror show – they sound amazing!

I love Dark Sparks”



BBC RADIO SHEFFIELD, DJ IAIN HODGESON

“Immense local talent”



24-7 MAGAZINE

“We Are Just Flies and Crying In The Spotlight are both exemplary slices of dramatic indie-rock that any of their contemporaries – The Editors, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers – would be proud to put their names to. High praise? Deservedly so.”



SHEFFIELD MUSIC SCENE

“We Are Just Flies is an immense tune. When I first heard it I was absolutely blown away and I haven’t stopped playing it since.”



ROCKSOUND

“Stripped down and elusive this is a stylish interpetation of 80s misery pop.”



LIVE PERFORMANCE REVIEWS



SHEFFIELD MUSIC SCENE – issue 13

"Wow what a band! Mood pop not dissimilar to Editors or Echo and the Bunnymen but, dare I say… better?"



THIS IS LOCAL LONDON****

"“Sheffield indie band Dark Sparks have a presence. With razor sharp guitars and retro keyboards the band has the energy, confidence and cool charisma of a group who are destined for better things - a wickedly electrifying sound."



NEWS HOPPER

"Flamboyant lead singer Leigh Greenwood is reminiscent of a young Jarvis Cocker and his vocals convey all the pathos and melancholy of disaffected youth."



MUSICAL EXUBERANCE

"I really enjoyed these guys, really tight with big drums and a great groove that sounded far less emo than expected. Fronted by the vocally strong, synth wielding Leigh Greenwood this was definitely an act to look out for again."



COUNTERFEIT MAGAZINE

"With a new drummer and a harder edged sound they seemed poised to break through.”



WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MAINSTREAM

"We first came across Dark Sparks when they supported Good Shoes and Wild Palms at Sheffield Leadmill. Darkly entertaining with a very accomplished set, watch this space - Dark Sparks are coming into the light."
