Danny & The Darleans

House-rocking garage trio Danny & the Darleans materialized in early 2010, one of a long line of bands started by Danny Kroha, founding member of Detroit garage punk legends the Gories. Their 12-song debut album refines some of the savage bombast of the Gories and loses almost all of the glam camp of Kroha's other act Demolition Doll Rods. Backed by fireball drummer Richie Wohlfeil (who also did time behind the kit for Detroit Cobras, Mother Whale, Saturday Looks Good to Me, and many other Michigan acts) and bassist Colleen Burke (once keyboardist for Chicago art-punks We Ragazzi and current bassplayer for Detroit's Outrageous Cherry), the garage rock of the Darleans is a more sophisticated affair.
