DARLINGS
darlingsnyc.tumblr.com
Darlings are a noisy lo-fi garagey band from New York, and they have a new EP called Warma, which came out today, March 15th, via Famous Class Records. The label was kind enough to send me a review copy of the EP, which I actually really enjoy. They remind me of when Weezer was good, but with a touch of Superdrag. They also seem to have a girl in the band, as most, if not all, of the songs on the EP features her doing backup vocals.
Warma also contain their catchy "Big Girl", which was available as a rare 7".
If you can't get enough of the band, the song "Spit It Out" is available as a free download at the vowels-hating website, rcrdlbl.
Some upcoming release party and live shows below:
THOSE DARLINS
thosedarlins.com
It looks like those dirty girls are constantly on tour! It's really a mystery how they managed to fork out another album! The album is called Screws Get Loose and they're so excited about it, they want you to get a copy of the title track, "Screws Get Loose" from their website. I did get a chance to listen to it - it's good, I think it has something to do with drinking and trying to stand upright. Update: After listening to it a few more times, it seems to be about an airplane at the start and then something about abusing substances - "they don't just hand that stuff out!". Too funny.
The good news is that they're returning to Minneapolis, it's really become a favorite spot for them, I reckon. And you know I'll be there, and apology to the failed Australian coverage. Maybe next time I will add it to Sally's calendar.
Trivia: You know the saying, "you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose... well Those Darlins just disproved that with their cover artwork.
SARAH DARLING
sarahdarling.com
Sarah Darling is a pop singer/songwriter, currently signed to Black River Entertainment. You may have heard of her from the Wayne Newton's show "The Entertainer" as one of the top three finalist.
Well, her second album, Angels & Devils just dropped last month (February 15th), and features the lead single "Something to Do With Your Hands" (backed with a cover of U2's "With or Without You"). I did get a chance to listen to the radio edit of the single, and it sounds very pop to me, with just a tiny hint of country twang and weeping violins.
Last Tuesday (March 8th), Sarah Darling, along with India.Arie, Michael Franti and Crystal Bowersox, kicked off the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day at the CARE's Conference and International Women's Day Celebration in Washington, D.C. Below is a photograph provided by CARE:
Finally, let's not forget the live shows. Details below:
