This one time at band camp...Nikki and Jessi Darlin met while attending Rock N' Roll camp in their hometown state of Tennessee. It wasn't too long after the two moved in together and were playing some tunes on the front porch, when they met and invited Kelley Darlin to join them. Since leaving the porch, these three bad ass chicks have spread their crawfish eating, beer guzzling, country-style rock n' roll all over the country.
Trust me, these darlins are not your typical girl group -- their songs may be catchy and relatively simple, but in no way do Those Darlins resemble a pop group. The band's self-titled debut album released in 2008 was jam-packed with songs that sounded as if they were recorded directly onto a cassette tape (which is actually how they record their songs), in a large red barn somewhere in the Appalachians. Tracks like "Snaggle Tooth Mama" and "Wild One" capture the rural, punk-like party character of these tomboy girls, while "Hung Up On Me" leaves listeners with no doubt that this trio aren't the type of girls you want to mess with.
With the recent release of their new album, Screws Get Loose, Those Darlins take a slight turn in sound, perfectly bridging their typical country/bluegrass song structure with their good ol' fashioned rock n' roll aesthetic.
