Kendra Sheetz Known for sugary sweet love songs and comic book imagery, Wilmington, DE-base band Danny and the Darlings returns with an ambitious new effort that offers a harder edge. But it isn’t just rhetoric-based hardcore; there’s an underlying story that unfolds as you listen.
The album, entitled Goddamned Wonderful, is a story about a recovering alcoholic who’s abducted by aliens, and is imbued with god-like powers of unlimited love, and all the perks therein. His message of hope catches on and he eventually gets the attention of the tyrannical right-wing power structure who aim to take out our hero, in the most biblical way possible.
Frontman Dan Robinson says:
“I wasn’t planning on releasing this album… But with the recent escalation of fascist violence against those living in America, I thought the time was now. This is an anti-fascist punk rock opera, 40 minutes of protest music.”
Goddamned Wonderful is a genre-spanning epic release that’s out now. Give it a stream below and purchase your copy on the Danny and the Darlings Bandcamp.
