Darlings Of The Day
Exploding out of the speakers like a dexerdrine fuelled sonic jailbreak are Darlings of the Day!
The band came about in 2005 when Londoner James Goddard (guitar) joined forces with LA natives Sterling Mire (vocals) Donovan Whitworth (bass) and Jake DeSouza (drums). They first made their mark with debut EP 'Get Burned' in 2006 which was filled with addictive riffs, infectious melodies and was soaked in dirty LA sunshine. Not surprisingly the EP gained them international support in the form of US and European airplay, a placement on MTV and glowing reviews from all who heard it!
Danny McNamara Interview!
SlavetoSound Catches up with Danny McNamara from Embrace
I am sitting in the bar area at MOHO waiting for Danny. The venue is clean and getting prepared for another night of Manchester music. Danny comes in and introduces himself. He is relaxed and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. We sit down and start chatting about his musical career;
STS - What music did you listen to when you were growing up?
D - Mainly my mum and dads records so it would be a bit of Motown and lots of Northern Soul stuff, that’s what my dad likes and my mum was really cool actually and went to loads of early gigs such as The Beatles and went to see The Stones, Beach Boys Small Faces, Kinks.
I Am Austin
Bounding out of Connah's Quay in North Wales is highly talented Dance/Rock duo I Am Austin!
Otherwise known as David Mitchell and Adam Hughes, 'I Am Austin' blend an infectious mix of alternative Drum & Bass and electro wizardry to create a mind bending, ear piercing, sonic musical soundscape.
