Love Darling

About Me

Based out of Hollywood, California their sound can’t be contained by one simple genre. Love Darling is an indie rock band that pushes boundaries by channeling an array of rock influences from Autolux to PJ Harvey, from Smashing Pumpkins to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The band formed in early 2009 when the lives of guitarist/vocalist Shay Magro, bassist/keyboardist Mike Wolpe, and drummer Christian Jovanny Trujillo, collided in a visceral and serendipitous explosion. The details are still a bit fuzzy, but they each recall it had something to do with late night diners, imaginary friends, cobblestone streets, fortune-tellers and a love-tester machine.
Continuing on the momentum of their debut release, Pawnshop Radio ON, including their music video for “Unbelievable” being featured on FuseTV, Love Darling is back in the recording studio with Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor) for their follow up release, Sunshine Dust. The band is currently lining up dates in the US and will be featured an a premiere series on Showtime in the summer.
