D.A.R.K. was an alternative rock band formed in New York City in early 2009. It was initially founded under the name Jetlag by Olé Koretsky and former the Smiths bassist Andy Rourke. In April 2014, the band began recording new material with the Cranberries vocalist Dolores O'Riordan,[1][2] and they subsequently changed their name to D.A.R.K. The album, titled Science Agrees, was released on September 9, 2016, through Cooking Vinyl.[3] In 2017, Koretsky teamed with DJ Wool under the D.A.R.K. name to tour as an opening act for The Cranberries. On 15 January 2018, O'Riordan died of drowning at age 46.[4][5] On 19 May 2023, Rourke died from pancreatic cancer, at the age of 59.[6]
