The Roomsounds ("Elm Street” LP Release Party), Somebody's Darling

"Led by singer and guitarist Ryan Michael, this four-piece deliver a masterwork of blues-rock with the most sludgy style DFW has heard in a while. With guitar tones straight from the early-70s Rolling Stones, it’s impossible not to get into this disc right away. But The Roomsounds are no one-trick pony. Their brilliant songwriting, along with versatile vocals, walks the listener though a museum with displays of country, garage rock, gospel, folk, punk and more, all with the tour-guide of catchy accessibility. In all honesty, every damn song on here is burn-worthy with something for everyone. The recording is very good (Birdville Studios in Flower Mound) with a solid mix that lets the individual skills shine through. Fans of Tom Petty, The Kinks, The Stones, Jack Ingram or Counting Crows should find this CD or get to a show ASAP! " - Mark Beneventi, Lit Monthly


Hailing from Dallas, TX, the roots-rock outfit Somebody's Darling came up in a part of the nation where southern meets western and urban meets rural, so it's no surprise how effortlessly this group of twenty-somethings blends rock 'n roll with old school R&B and country-funk. Their tunes sound just as good alongside The Stones and The Faces as they do Ryan Adams and The Drive-By Truckers.
