"Montreal’s The Darling DeMaes are one of Canada’s best kept secrets; somehow equally playful and sinister, the band grabs your attention and never lets go." ~ Bryan Acker, HeroHill

ABOUT "A USER'S GUIDE TO RAISING THE DEAD"

"An indie rock classic waiting to happen." ~ Joelle Lemieux, The Link

"Virtanen’s balance of bleeding heart and backhanded humour, twin fixations on love and death and faint retro rock ’n’ roll echo make him a contender for the next big new Morrissey. His voice is softer, the band’s arrangements more acoustic, but the Darling DeMaes’ giddy highs and suicidal lows evoke the Smiths and their ilk, without aping them." ~ Lorraine Carpenter, Montreal Mirror

"Likely to make you get up and dance as they are to inspire a pensive pose. It's pretty stuff, complete with textured guitars, propulsive rhythms, fluttering harmonies and subtly soaring melodies... We will be hearing more from these guys." ~ T'cha Dunlevy, Montreal Gazette

ABOUT THE DARLING DEMAES

"While it's easy to throw around the term "indie" with reference to The DeMaes, the group's output is a unique blend of classic folk with their own upbeat relevant approach... The product is a poetic, lyrically focused batch of songs that are likely to set them aside from the rest of the genre." ~ Steve Adamyk, Ottawa XPress

"A beautiful discovery to be made." ~ Clemence Risler, Voir Montreal

"Steely-string strumming and grand harmonies. The dripping sentimentality, character sketches, and dry humour are to be appreciated all on their own. Set against the spare - but warm - sound, the stories are magnified." ~ Fateema Sayani, Ottawa Citizen

That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo. The sound combines infectious indie-rock with a breezy folk-feel. Love's 'Forever Changes' kept on popping-up in my head during your performance. And trust me. That's a good thing. Keep to your musical vision.
