Limited-edition vinyl LP combines both [DARYL] releases I DREAM ALONE and THE WASTED CASUALTIES on to one record, each side featuring different and unique artwork / music pressed on Nuclear Neon Smash colored vinyl. [DARYL], the long-standing Dallas, TX band, has entertained audiences since 1999, harnessing their love of 80's music and cinema and combining it with vintage '80s synths and catchy, ferocious post-punk rock'n'roll. After releasing albums in both the USA and Japan, including 3 full-length albums and 4 EP's, the band embarked on a lengthy hiatus, though remaining close while pursuing other artistic projects. [DARYL] played shows periodically over the years before audaciously deciding to combine the talents of both long-term lineups and officially reforming as an 8-piece band in 2018 after being asked to play Dallas' Homegrown Festival with Explosions in the Sky, The Black Angels and Roky Erickson. After the festival lead singer Dylan Silvers started writing songs that would become the band's most ambitious recording project yet: A double album that split the band's signature sound into two separate entities. If John Hughes and John Carpenter made a Movie together [Daryl] would be the soundtrack. In addition to touring the US for years and sharing stages with Cheap Trick, The Black keys, Ash, Old 97's, Spoon and more, the band has worked with Grammy winning producers Stuart Sikes (The White Stripes, Cat Power) and John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sigur Ros, Sleater Kinney). [DARYL] is Dylan Silvers, David Wilson, Michael Lamm, Jeff Parker, Chadwick Ferman, Beau Wagener, Matt Pittman, and Mike Danger.
