Screws Get Loose

VINYL FORMAT. Four years have gone by since Nikki, Jessi, and Kelley Darlin spat in their palms and slapped hands in a three-way promise that would become Those Darlins. Since then, they've broken hearts and broken bones, while honing their chops and gaining a lifetime of experiences through endless touring; bros to the bitter end. Screws Get Loose is their second album, but the first to show off drummer Linwood Regensburg's abilities as a songwriter. Each song bears the scars of the highs and lows they've soldiered through together on the road, accentuating the realities of growing up in a rock and roll band. These songs show that life on the road is no place for the faint of heart. So, naturally, songs take shape with bold narratives, strong voices, and full-bodied performances that are no less vibrant than previous offerings, but are a little less naive. Maturity and experience combine to open up wholly new dimensions for Those Darlins. But that doesn't mean they have forsaken the spirit of fun and frivolity that has come to define them.
