Sharko is a Belgian indie pop-rock band formed by David Bartholomé (bass guitar, guitars, voice) in 1997.

Sharko released its first album, Feuded, in 1999, on the indie Belgian label BANG!. The album has also been released in France and Holland and received critical success. Helped by the guitar player Teuk, Sharko toured those three countries in 2000 and gained a reputation as a great live act. On this tour, they opened for acts like Muse, Venus, Arno, or Paul Weller.

The year 2005 was a dark year for David Bartholomé who almost decided to end Sharko. Instead of this, the trio entered in contact with producer Dimitri Tikovoï (Placebo, The Horrors, Goldfrapp) to start the recordings of their fourth album. Molecule was released in October 2006 in Belgium and Holland and received great reviews. The sound of the album differs from its predecessors, having more density and being deeper. Molecule ended the year reaching number 1 on the iTunes French download indie chart. In January 2007, Sharko sold out the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Molecule was later released in France, Switzerland and Australia.

In 2008, Sharko toured in Canada and in New York City, they played in clubs such as Arlene's Grocery or Piano's.
