Equal parts mischief and bliss, eloquence and irreverence, Deadbeat Darling is a New York City-based rock band whose music shimmers with hints of dub and electronica, and has thus far inspired a rabid and eclectic fanbase solely upon word of mouth. They released their debut full length album "Weight of Wandering"during the Summer of 2009, followed by a sold out show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City and a run of album release shows throughout Texas and the Midwest...
"Deadbeat Darling's "Weight of Wandering” mesmerizes listeners with gentle reggae waves, sprinkles of exotic modulation, a dab of Dub, and tinges of electronica... Fusing an enchanting instrumentation with (Joseph) King’s soaring, soothing, and shining vocals that attend to every nuance and touch every emotion, the Brooklyn quartet creates a “zen-rock” experience on their ten-track album.... “Weight of Wandering” is heavy with poeticism that is matched by substantial musicality." – Meijin Bruttomesso, Deli NYC
"Deadbeat Darling's music pulsates and breathes. It's electronic rock that brings to mind bands like the Killers and the Strokes." – Hector Saldana, SA Express
"The move to NYC has been good for the cosmically talented Joseph King. With Deadbeat Darling, he's been able to stretch out and fully embrace his muse with these songs about the slippery slopes of relationships, drugs, and bliss." – Loris Lowe, KGSR Austin
“Listening is like running down a mountain on a switchback trail, the sound of surprise generating its own momentum. There’s a punk glee inside the bluegrass craft–and a punk vehemence inside the bluegrass smile.”– Greil Marcus
“... charming, unusually graceful music” – The New York Times
“...like 1995 Wilco with the sensibility of 2007 Wilco.” – The Onion AV Club, Milwaukee
“They play their catchy originals with virtuosic mandolin jams and honky-tonk piano fillers, and top them with off-kilter, good-time harmonies.” – Time Out New York
Overnight is a quartet based in the Big Apple whose musical history is rich in diversity, as the members have played with everyone from Lauryn Hill and Nas to Spacehog and Rye Coalition. As multi-instrumentalists, their sound is big, complex and eclectic, pushing at the boundaries of rock to take a path less traveled. Their entirely self-produced debut album, These Days Are Over, was a year in the making, and they focus their various backgrounds to create a rich, purposeful sound.
