About
Darlia is a dynamic alternative rock band hailing from Blackpool, U.K. Known for their gritty yet melodic take on English indie rock, the group originally formed when Natan Day (vocals, guitar) and Davey Williams (bass), both former schoolmates, decided to pursue music while working as cleaners at their high school. With the addition of drummer Jack Bentham, Darlia quickly gained attention with their energetic sound and compelling live performances. Over time, Micko Larkin, known for his work with Courtney Love, joined the band as a lead guitarist, bringing a new dimension to their music. Darlia's music encompasses a blend of raw intensity and catchy hooks, making them a staple in the modern rock scene.
