“So yea we finally captured live which a lot of people claim sounds better than our studio recordings. I believe the stage is sacred place where the soul is bared, dancing and singing are forged together to make human organic splendor… Energy absorbed from the crowd ain’t nothin to sneeze at.. One take, one band, one record.”
The Darlings are four west coast rock n rollers with a vintage modern attack and down home southern roots. Formed in 2005 by Buddy Darling (singer/guitar) and Chris Kranes (bass) in Redondo Beach CA.
The Darlings continue to respectfully nod to their deep retro-fittings, but effortlessly draw their listeners into uncharted territory; the aromatic essence of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Blues, Punk and Americana that seeps from their sound, seems to have been simmering in a crock-pot full of Black Sabbath’s insidious darkness and Chuck Berry’s dexterous swagger.
The Old House Sessions were recorded live in a 1920’s historic home in Fullerton CA. Filmed and edited by Steve Guerrero Burning Rose Studios. “Mr. Morgan Crow” performed live by Buddy Darling, is a stand out track from The Darlings latest record “Made of Phantoms”.

YOTAM’s video is live for “Tony Sly” off “California Sounds”.
“My friend Kevin who is doing a book in tribute for Tony Sly mentioned that a friend of his Steven Guerrero would be interested in possibly doing a video for my song “Tony Sly” off of California Sounds (Hardline Entertainment). I put him in touch with label owner Ken Seaton and they both set up a 7 am shooting at 3rd Street Tattoo in Hermosa Beach which Fletcher from Pennywise is a part owner of. Luckily I was just done with a 2 month tour and in the area. I didn’t sleep much the night before. We ended up shooting a few takes and that was it. The setting, the hour and Steve’s camera action made everything seem right.
I learned alot from Tony Sly over the years when my band Useless ID toured with No Use For A Name and when I worked with Tony on songs so this song is my thank you to Tony who shaped me musically from the first time I heard No Use so many years ago.”

MERCY MUSIC BIO-
The incomparable sound and energy of the Las Vegas three-piece Rock & Roll band Mercy Music is truly like capturing lightening in a bottle, as frontman Brendan Scholz’s unmatched ability to write catchy yet soulful rock songs combined with the band’s explosive live performances make them one of the clearest and most unique voices currently performing. Scholz, as lead singer/songwriter and guitar prodigy, helms the trio with a raw force only matched by the poignant, self-aware honesty in his songwriting. Beginning Mercy Music originally as a solo act, Scholz brought aboard long-time collaborator and unparalleled bassist Jarred Cooper whose enthusiasm both on and off the stage brings a quality to Mercy Music that can only be described as invigorating. Finally, balancing the band with sharp skill and precision is drummer Rye Martin, a talent that shines while seeming perfectly at home in the group’s ferocious sound. After making a name for themselves during their incredible live shows and on tour, Mercy Music is proud to announce their new album, “When I Die I’m Taking You With Me” – a culmination of their efforts and featuring their newest, best material that is sure to surprise their fans while creating many new ones.

“….an album with melodies that have hit-potential, driving parts and a good production, which makes you want to hear them live.” – Metal Hammer
“Anthemic wide-screen sound that is meant to be played in arenas.” – VISIONS Magazine
“Oozes in upbeat and overly catch choruses on each track making it hard to pick out a distinctive favourite.” – Big Cheese Magazine
“Huge Choruses, Saccharine lyrics, emotive vocals and quick tempos slickly produced and chockfull of ear candy.”
-Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine
“Fast Post-Punk-Songs, somewhere in the middle between Rise Against and Face To Face. Definitely worth checking out!.” – FUZE Magazine
“Damage Control” is taken from the British three piece’s 4th studio album “New Horizons” recorded in Los Angeles, and released by LA based Hardline Entertainment.
“The song itself is about capitalising on bad situations and using them as a benefit, coming out of that limbo space, as well as being in control of of your own destiny. It is based on a real experience from us during the album previous to “New Horizons” and issues we were going through within the industry at the time, and people in our inner circle no less.
We felt like a lot of control had been taken from us and we weren’t represented how we wanted to be, things very nearly came to a head and a lot of negative things came from it, but we started writing this album which helped the situation and ultimately gave us some great songs with depth. But like most things in life this can be applied to anything.”
