Here’s a good mystery.

There’s a Bandcamp from I guess a digital label called Degree Zero Music based in Los Angeles, California.

This Bandcamp has three releases. An album from 2012 by Magnetone, an album from 1992 by Changeling, and three songs from 1988 by Darling Rougues.

I don’t know if there’s a connection between the bands. I do want to think that all three bands hail from the Los Angeles area. But I can’t say for sure.

The band I’m interested in is the Darling Rougues. Why? Their songs are pretty good, especially “Sixteen Beats”.

According to this Bandcamp the three songs were released on May 1st of 1988. The title for this three song EP was “Pop!” and the songs included were “Girl on the Outside”, “Gravity” and “Sixteen Beats”. We don’t get any other details.

Sadly that’s all I have to offer. I couldn’t find any other info about the band. I would think this “Pop!” EP was actually a demo tape. But without any information about band members or recording studio, or anything at all is quite difficult to even google about it.

So I have to resort on my good readers. Anyone have any idea about this Darling Rougues?
