A Dharma Initiative

“I Dance Like This” is the debut album from Leeds-based band The Dharma. Although this mini-album only consists of six songs it is enough to give a strong feel for the band’s punchy, energetic indie style. After a first listen, the songs may feel slightly forgettable but it won’t be long before the catchy beats take hold and the lyrics “I’m on fire, I’m on fire” are implanted into your brain.

This sound, combined with lyrics of everyday life and nights out (“I stole your heart on Saturday night…”) will draw comparisons with similar bands of today such as the Pigeon Detectives; however, with The Dharma, you feel you are getting something more authentic. If it’s a slice of genuine, upbeat indie you’re after, this is it.
