British rock band
Darlia were an English rock band from Blackpool. Formed in 2013, the band released various 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 between 2013 and 2015. Petals, an eight track mini-album, was released in 2015, charting at number 79 in the UK.[2] The band have toured supporting Gerard Way, Nothing But Thieves and The Wombats, played Glastonbury Festival and Reading Festival, as well as being part of the NME Awards Tour 2015.[3] Their first full LP was expected to be released in 2016.
In 2017, frontman Nathan Day released a satirical NME article that suggested the band had been taking a break.
In 2019, Day launched a solo career stating that ".“Being in a band taught me what I wanted to do. It made me realize I had to do this for myself, because I just wanted to get as much music outas possible".[4]
