The tour will hit California, Arizona, Texas, Ohio, Massachusetts, Montreal, Toronto, and Detroit, before ending in New York on July 1st for SummerStage festival. Check out the dates below. (more…)

The EP combines the works of Darlingside and Heather Maloney with two originals from each, and one cover song”but this isn’t your average split. It’s a collaboration, with each act performing on the other’s tunes, making for an intriguing mix. Download the album below. (more…)

Flash forward three months, and the band is getting ready to play the Pandora showcase at SXSW this Friday, March 14th at 2pm in The Gatsby. Can’t make it out to Austin, TX this week? Don’t worry, the band will be touring the U.S. throughout March and April with support along the way from acts such as American Authors and MisterWives.
