Although the Los Angeles-based Stone Darling have already acquired an ever-growing fan base in the City of Angels by releasing 7” singles and hosting a summer residency at the iconic Satellite, it wasn’t until last week that the songstresses released their debut self-titled EP. Led by singer/songwriter Paige Stark, the all-female rock outfit pulls from the legendary doo-wop girl-group sound of the ‘50s and ‘60s, cashing in on an extraordinary talent to harmonize. The quartet pairs this with twangy guitar riffs, creating lovelorn ballads meant to be heard in the Midwest. You can stream the full EP here. – Katrina Nattress
