American Darlings
Infectious. Melodic. Catchy. Loud.
The last month of the year is here and even though it was filled with challenges, some small spotlights and few shows, we're humbled that listeners all around the world talked about & listened to our tunes. "Thank you, friends" Spotify
peace & love,
Jason, Tommy, Garrett, Cory (and Brian & Dan)

A little late with this share but wanted to shoutout to Jeff Berner, who recorded a handful of our songs over the last few years (on Glow and Afterglow) - for featuring us #43 on his latest Spotify playlist of NYC bands he's worked his magic for. Thank you Jeff! (see link below - or in comments)

"It's beeeennn...one week" since the unintentional & inevitable solo (Jason) electric show at Mercury Lounge - there were lots of people filming and good vibes (despite everybody missing the band, especially solo Jason) here'e video proof ;) Stay tuned for better video, reschedule, more band news, shows and stuff...
"No matter how much you want something to happen, sometimes it doesn't happen the way you want to..."
So many spot-on, inspirational, music reminders while listening to the latest NEW Crushed Monocle Podcast (what's up Coop!) where they interview Tennessee indie rock hero John Davis (of Superdrag/The Lees of Memory/Epic Ditch fame): 'A shark has to always keep moving or it'll die...the will to act...Adam Schlesinger songwriting...the records will be here after we're all gone'.
I gotta say, it's good to finally hear the man behind the songs, on THIS level. If you know, you know...thanks Coop and Johnny Flame. Much respect.
Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 27 - John Davis : Indie Royalty Jon and Coop are joined by John Davis, ringleader of Superdrag, The Lees Of Memory, Epic Ditch, and a million other indie rock projects!
