Those Darlins

http://www.myspace.com/darlins

Those Darlins are a garage country band from Murfreesboro, TN. The ladies went live in 2006 and attracted immediate attention for their rowdy, cheerfully sarcastic, and sometimes boozed-fueled show, and for their unique interplay of distinct personalities. While considered to be the next big thing associated to Nashville's rock scene, Those Darlins' curious mix of classic country and ragged garage rock makes them one of a kind, eliciting comparisons like, "The Carter Family meets The Black Lips." In 2009, the girls toured feverishly, playing 140 shows and sharing the stage with the likes of Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys), Deer Tick, King Khan & BBQ Show, Wanda Jackson, Jon Spencer, and Dr. Dog. They made huge waves at SXSW, Bonnaroo, and Garage Fest.

2010 has already been full, with a Eastern headlining tour selling out many cities, including Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, St. Louis, Louisville, Brimingham, Nashville, and more. They have received widespread critical acclaim for their self-titled debut album, recorded in NYC and produced by Jeff Curtin, whose credits includeVampire Weekend's debut. Expect a 7" in the fall of 2010 and their sophomore full length at the top of 2011.

Union Line

The Union Line has been together since 2008, releasing their-self titled album independently that same year. They happen to be good friends with Local Natives and released a split single with them that same year. Since then they have been touring hard, preparing some new music and new releases.

The Union Line are going to receive comparisons to other Americana sounding indie rockers such as Modest Mouse, and Cold War Kids. Listen to the song “Goldmine,” and try to argue against them. Their sound is probably best described as pure Americana. Their songs tell stories through passionate song writing and detailed textures. These guys are no amateur musicians who just picked up their instruments and ran. The Union Line are writing songs that are miles ahead of pretty much everything you’re going to hear on the radio.

Brimstone Howl

There is a pungent smell of sulphur blasting out of Lincoln, Nebraska. Thankfully, it’s not the end for all us sinners as predicted in the King James version of the Bible, but a barely controlled unleashing of some of the finest reverb-drenched rock ‘n’ roll to be heard in quite a while. With We Came in Peace, their fourth album in three years, Brimstone Howl have surpassed all expectation by turning in a record that galvanizes their seat-of-the-pants garage-punk stomp with razor-sharp lyrics, while production by Detroit’s Jim Diamond (think the White Stripes’ first two albums and the Gore Gore Girls’ latest) keeps it crisp without the loss of the band’s cavernous, gritty sound. The four-piece outfit’s description of their most recent effort as “weird fictional adventure stories, and beginner blues guitar lessons for mongoloids” barely scratches the surface of the strangeness beneath.
