Daphne Loves Derby

Daphne Loves Derby is an indie-rock group out of Kent, Washington. They are a band who truly owes their success (and their creation) to the internet, and at one point led Purevolume.com's unsigned artists page. On that same website they have over 5.5 million plays, not to mention more than 4 million on Myspace and 4 million on last.fm, yet they remain unsigned.

A couple of guys who formed a band while still in high school, and even junior high, DLD has stayed together long enough to put out 2 solid full-length albums as well as a few other shorter discs. If I had to describe similar artists I would likely somewhere between Mae, Death Cab for Cutie, and Copeland.

Daphne Loves Derby is in the studio right now making another album, and are touring this fall. Tour dates are here on their PureVolume page.
