From: Colchester, Essex

Dakota are:

Aidy - vox
Jamie - guitar. b-vox
Matt - bass
Pete - guitar. b-vox
Sam - drums

Hailing from Colchester and Ipswich, Dakota have set about making music that has the longevity and impact to make them a mainstay in the musical scene that they have longed to be part of. They love The Beatles. They love The Stones. They write songs that sound like the bands they aspire to, and they don't hide the fact. There's no shit involved, no hidden message, no anti-Bush shit. It's just rock n roll.

From the reviews they have received you could pitch Dakota's sound somewhere between The Libertines, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Kings Of Leon, Oasis, The Beatles, Interpol and probably many more. There's something for everyone!

Now with their attitude and charisma plus a load of fucking good songs they want to let you hear them. What they offer is pretty simple stuff really; guitars, drums and a decent voice, but once these 'simplicities' are combined there is a great fucking sound buzzing in your ears...
