Fresh from the success of Ejector - iconic San Francisco band, and winner of the SF Guardians Best Local Band Award in 2010 - Ricky Terry (synths) and Dr Scott (synths & guitar) decided to embark on a fresh music project, this time with a female vocalist.
In January 2012, they found New Zealand songstress Jezabel, renamed themselves Darling Gunsel after the term for a mischievous, gun-toting youth, and began an intense period of writing and recording.
Their first single 'Straight Girls' gave the band renewed support from their original fan base whilst their live shows became immediately synonymous with outlandish costumes, heavy bass and hyper-energetic-dance antics.
In October 2012 Darling Gunsel released their 10 track debut album 'Unresolved Heart'.
The album, whilst staying true to their original sounds - layering heavy, dark, bass driven tones with 80’s inspired synth lines - also shows clear development, with Jezabel's voice providing melodic contrast to the heavier tones and vocal lines that at times sound more reminiscent of jazz and folk than pop. The lyrical depth is also a major development - the album covering the more intimate and relatable territory of relationships, one-night-stands and homelands.
Having gained a loyal local following, Darling Gunsel intends to hit the road, and tour extensively in 2013.
