I'm Simon Kaviani, songwriter for Darke Horse, I formed Darke Horse about 6 months ago, we are a four piece from Sheffield and have been likened to a cross between the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Thin Lizzy. See

Our first review in May 2007's edition of Sandman, describes Darke Horse's demo as a 'barnstorming effort from the Sheffield foursome...everything about this swaggering behemoth oozes confidence...an entertaining and promising piece of rock ‘n’ roll.'

I have also been voted as best guitarist in the national 'Rock Idol' competition 2006 and my song 'Vein of Wrath' won the Riffathon songwriting competition, a competition set up by Jimmy Page and Brian May in 2006.
