Following on from the quite excellent 'St. Petersburg', 'Once, twice, again!' is the second single to be lifted from Dartz!'s increasingly exciting forthcoming debut album This Is My Ship. Anyone already familiar with the Teeside upstarts will find little in the way of bombshells on either track on offer here, but far from stagnating the trio are coming closer and closer to refining their sparkling work. All spiked riffs and sublime guitar lines married with thumping disco beats and slices of falsetto vocals that even Q and Not U would have cast envious glances at, both 'Once, Twice, Again!' and 'Lines' serve as further evidence of Dartz's staggering potential.

To put in simply, 'Once, Twice, Again!' is yet another exceptional release from what's shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated British debut albums of 2007.
