The Wendy Darlings – The Insufferable Fatigues of Idleness

Tom

I was part of Lostmusic when we released French band The Wendy Darlings début release, the We Come With Friendly Purposes EP back in 2009. Moving forward five years my old Lostmusic cohort Trev is releasing the bands début album The Insufferable Fatigues of Idleness on his Oddbox Records label.

The band have also been confirmed as playing at this years Northern Star Weekender which takes place at … Continue reading The Wolfhounds – Anthem
