THOSE DARLINS
Those Darlins aren’t afraid to ruffle feathers, and we’re thankful for that. The genre-bending “country punk” outfit returns to songs with heavy tinges of twangy, old school rock n’ roll (think early Stones, Ramones) in Blur the Line, which is perfectly exemplified in their rump-shakin’ music video for “Optimist” (see below). Blur the Line blends gritty guitar tones and sweet-as-candy vocal harmonies to create a mature album of work which depicts the foursome as a troupe of melancholy rock darlings that aren’t afraid to candidly sing about the good, the bad, and the sexy in their respective searches for individuality.
Friday night’s lineup also includes opening sets from Adia Victoria, Bully, & Music Band.
