It's a rare thing these days, but SPARKADIA are a melodically potent & optimistic pop group. Painting sounds in ecstatic primary colours, Alex Burnett, drummer DAVE HALL and bass player NICK RABONE issue a rousing call out to everyone - an open celebration of the love, regret, doubt, and redemption that make up the guts of life. Echoing the sweeping melodic scope and sonic range of seminal bands like The Police and Doves, Sparkadia produce a sound exciting enough to snare support slots with artists like DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, BEN LEE, THE BRAVERY and TEGAN & SARA. Sparkadia's music is optimistic - providing positively anthemic pop music.

Sparkadia are a sydney four-piece that write modern pop songs, pop songs that blend the crystalline vocals of front-man alex burnett with bold guitars, resplendent melodies and a filmic production quality.
