Strung Out
The Darlings, Handguns

Strung Out has been comfortably residing over at Fat Wreck for close to 16 years now, but it's pretty clear that the guys are hardly resting on their laurels. The band has perfected its metal-infused skatepunk to ridiculously tight, guitar-shredding proportions, razor sharp licks pairing with precise, rapid-fire drumming to knock listeners over again and again. But as always, Strung Out's aggression is perfectly complemented by the slightly worn yet fiercely passionate vocals of Jason Cruz; the subtle tenderness he brings to the table keeps their collective power in check, ensuring there to be just as much heart as muscle in the proceedings. Fat Wreck Chords
LA rockers The Darlings have come a long way since their inception in 2005. After beating out hundreds of bands to win Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 13, the Darlings had their song "What Lies Below" picked up by the Anaheim Ducks, who used the track for their 09/10 season promo spots on Prime Ticket. The band's song "Broken Heart Still Beating" has also been in steady rotation on influential LA modern rock station KROQ's Locals Only show for months. In addition to hitting the road on tours with Face To Face, Strung Out, Pennywise and sharing the stage with Sum 41, Bad Religion, and Social Distortion last year, they also picked up endorsements from Ernie Ball, Fxck Cancer Foundation, and Supernatural Cymbals. The Darlings don't show any signs of slowing as they were just showcased at the NAMM Show 2012 in Anaheim, CA and are releasing their next single "Hypnotize" off their debut full length album, 'The New Escape' on Gadsen Records (UMG) this Spring.
Whats up we are a pop punk band from Harrisburg Pa. We believe in hard work and having fun. We don't have famous friends we are not critically acclaimed and no one in this band was ever in some famous band who's name we could drop or coat tail we could ride. But we will get up earlier than you and work longer and harder. That has to count for something. If it doesn't then at least we had a hell of a good time trying and made some amazing friends along the way.
