Oh Darling are four best friends that took a chance, formed a band and started making music because it was the natural thing for them to do. Of course, not every band that begins under these auspices ends up on a happy note, but Portland, Orgeon’s Oh Darling has much for going for it. Their chemistry is unique, with several songs being written in just a few days-the quality doesn’t suffer from the quickness-and the result is an extremely memorable indie rock sound. Jasmine Ash had me going back to some very early Go-Go’s with her assertive vccals, and J. Marie Hall(bass), Daven Hall(guitars) and drummer Jake Endicott complete an excellent combination of musicians, elements and charm. Nice Nice was just released on September 16th, and it’s such a good debut release it should really help bring awareness to the band’s genre-bending style. Sharing only one track doesn’t do the versatility justice; you’ll have to hear the rest!Oh Darling are four best friends that took a chance, formed a band and started making music because it was the natural thing for them to do.
