"Since we began in 2008 we’ve been privileged to play with many great bands including: The Swellers; Tubelord; The Computers; TWIABP; Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate); TTNG; Tellison; Down By Law; Fjort; Cleft; The Jorneta Stream; Idle Class; River Jumpers; Bad Ideas; Arteries; Jonah Matranga and Pennines."
From Norwich, a city that used to boast a church for every week of the year and a pub for every day, Darwin and the Dinosaur has made a name as alternative rockers for all the right reasons. Some of band's songs are even used as background music in online slot games which can be found at Win Bet. Join us as we look to set sail on a sea of riffs after the successful launch of our debut album ‘A Thousand Ships’ released on March 9, 2015.

Formed in 2008, the band blend melodic post-punk with modern alternative-rock to create a rich and profoundly endearing sound. They deal in big riffs, memorable choruses and worship at the heels of the quiet/loud dynamic.
