“These are the words that sum up Virginia-based band, The Danvilles. They are a part of Merrifield Records, a label/musical co-op started by the band’s singer/Guitarist Mike Hindert who is also the Bassist for the Bravery. The Danvilles, who all grew up together in Northern Virginia, describe their sound as a mix of Sixties Pop, Blues, Surf Rock and Old School Rock and Roll with some Rockabilly, Reggae and even a little tasteful Country thrown in for good measure. Their latest LP titled “Women”, is perhaps the Bluesiest and darkest of their recordings to date, no doubt a result of one seriously cold winter living together in a friend’s home in Long Island, NY”.
I’ve been playing The Danvilles` new album for a few days now, the raw blues feel and punchy vocal twists turn rock and roll tradition on it’s head giving a wonderful spiraling descent into audio multi-genres. With the individual tracks rarely breaking the three minute mark, ‘Women’ behaves like a long lost friend, almost taking the persona of your favorite record or guitar sound, it’s a complex feeling to produce but it’s a damn satisfying piece of ear candy. Along with The Black Keys distorted and unconventional blues influences, the North Virginia born trio effortlessly balance the sharp edges with T-Rex style flirtation and crispy chord submissions. The Lyrically dark moments are a sure fire way to highlight Mark Hindert’s contrasting beat harmonies and brazen charisma – Just check out the video for the lead single `Seemed So Easy`, The Danvilles are much more than a Rock and Roll sideline.
