"The bio for Southern rock band Somebody’s Darling says, “Think my Morning Jacket fronted by a woman, or Alabama Shakes if they’d been born in Texas”. Other comparisons include Grace Potter, ZZ Ward, Tame Impala, and Gary Clark Jr. The woman out front is Amber Farris on lead vocals and guitar. The rest of the band is David Ponder (guitar), Nate Wedan (percussion), Mike Talley (keys), and Wade Cofer (bass). All five members of this bluesy rock ‘n’ roll band, which formed in Dallas in 2007, are Texas-born, but packed up and moved to Nashville earlier this year to tour, write, and record. Their most recent release, 2014’s Adult Roommates, takes a mature, and sometimes stark, look at what it means to be a working band. Come out to The Basement tonight to welcome these new kids to town. Check out the video for “Bad Bad” from the new album."

"Just as nearly every guy with a guitar in New Jersey gets compared to Bruce Springsteen, Farris has faced comparisons of her own. As a female lead singer from Texas that gets a bit rowdy on stage, she’s heard countless comparisons to Janis Joplin. “If I had a dollar for every time somebody said that, I would be a bazillionaire!” she laughs. “But I think it’s a great compliment. Janis Joplin was awesome and she was a big inspiration of mine.” In June, the band hits the Northeast for a series of shows in the area. Farris hopes that people are inspired, encouraged, and moved by the band’s live set. She adds, “We also like to drink with our fans.” Janis would be proud."

"They’re driving freight trains of reverb and melody, ragged and glorious and occasionally desperate and always fun. And as long as it remains fun for Farris and her bandmates, they’ll keep doing it."

"Somebody’s Darling is really and truly a “live” band. The energy and the emotion of playing in front of people is really why we all do this. We got slow songs and we got fast songs, but we bring it on both. I’d like to think that our music makes people want to stay at the bar, get close to someone, and feel something. At least I hope. "

"We've hit on this time and time again, but it bears repeating. The blues are making a massive comeback. Everybody from The Black Keys to Jack White to the Alabama Shakes are making a splash in this resurgent genre. And, now we can add another name to the list of fresh & exciting acts in the neo-blues scene, Somebody's Darling. These Dallas, TX rockers are equal bits Gary Clark Jr. and ZZ Ward, and we're happy to be premiering their track "Generator" whose delightful Tame Impala's "Elephant"-esque intro gives the track a propulsive spurt right out of the gates. It's off their upcoming LP, Adult Roommates, and we're ready to hear more. "

"Dallas-based Somebody's Darling have all the elements you would expect from a Southern rock band: Lead singer Amber Farris' commanding vocals, dominant guitars, powerful drums, and lyrics that make you pay attention. They've just announced the release of their third album, Adult Roommates, on September 16. And we're thrilled to share the premiere of first single "Bad Bad." The track offers a hint of the album's vibe — think vintage, raw, awesome. "

"With Somebody’s Darling, the listener is never bored. The band’s music constantly keeps you riled up and ready to go. Earlier that week I was listening to their stuff on my computer at my office but did not realize that the headphone jack was not connected. All my colleagues looked over at my desk and instead of being annoyed, gave me a thumbs up and high praise. (Cue Andy Samberg’s Nicholas Cage impression) That’s the power of Somebody’s Darling."

"On "End of the Line," the bluesy, smoky fifth track from Adult Roommates, the newest album from Dallas' Somebody's Darling, lead singer and songwriter Amber Farris sums up the heart and soul of the new record with a few simple words. "This is the oldest we have been, this is the youngest we will ever be," she sings, and in that one line lies a lifetime of wisdom. Now together for seven years, Somebody's Darling are one of Dallas' most popular bands, with Farris backed up by lead guitarist and co-songwriter David Ponder, drummer Nate Weden, keyboardist Mike Talley and bassist Wade Coffer. Drawing on all those years spent as a unit, Adult Roommates takes a mature, sometimes stark look into the future while dissecting the past, proving to be a killer follow-up to 2012's soulful Jank City Shakedown."

"The third time really is the charm for Dallas rockers Somebody’s Darling. The bluesy rock band has grown into a heck of a group with singer Amber Farris at the lead, and it shows with the band’s third full-length album, Adult Roommates."
