Those Darlins: Announce 2nd Album, Screws Get Loose

December 11, 2010 0 comments

Screws Get LooseThose Darlins have announced their forthcoming release of their second album Screws Get Loose released via the Oh Wow Dang label on March 29, 2011.

The band re-enlisted producer Jeff Curtin (Small Black) and headed down to Atlanta, GA to record Screws Get Loose with engineer Ed Rawls at his Living Room Studio (Black Lips, Jacuzzi Boys).  While the band’s country punk nature is still evident, the Southern roots that shine through are more in line with the dirty South garage rock blasting out of Memphis, Atlanta and Nashville in recent years. Haunting and hook-laden rock numbers tussle with the confessional weight of other songs.  Stylistically, the band has created a range of sounds as far ranging as Spector-like summery girl pop to a fully realized stoner jam.

The band will be previewing the songs off Screws Get Loose at the top of the year with multiple tour dates. See full tour listings here… and pick up their latest release, the ‘Night Jogger’ 7″ while your at it.

1.   Screws Get Loose
2.   Be Your Bro
3.   Let U Down
4.   Hives
5.   Mystic Mind

Last Friday (5/14), Nikki Darlin of Those Darlins broke both bones in her left forearm after performing at the Nelsonville Music Festival in Ohio. She is scheduled for surgery later this week and will recover throughout June… Unfortunately their anticipated Australian May/June tour with Wagons has been postponed. See tour dates here.

BUT, come out for this Saturday’s gig to Mercy Lounge in Nashville which was originally a regularly scheduled gig, but is NOW a fundraiser to help pay off the hospital bills from Nikki’s injury… Sponsored by the blog Nashville’s Dead, tickets are only $10… The first 200 people in the door will receive a free pair of Blublocker Sunglasses (so adding some extra $$$ at the show wouldn’t hurt)… Get your tickets here.

Get well soon Nikki!
