Darlia is a British rock band from Blackpool. Formed in 2013, the band have so far released four EPs and a mini-album, Petals.[1]

History

The band was formed in 2013 in Blackpool by former schoolmates Nathan Day and Jack Bentham, along with Dave Williams. They signed with B-Unique recordings and released three EPs, and five singles between 2013 and 2015. Petals, an eight track mini-album, was released in 2015, charting at number 79 in the UK.[2] Their first full LP is expected to be released in 2016. The band have toured supporting Gerard Way and The Wombats, played Glastonbury Festival and Reading Festival, as well as being part of the NME Awards Tour 2015.[3] Their first full album is set for release at some point in 2017 after front-man Nathan Day released a satirical NME article that suggested the band had been taking a break.
