Due to vacations, technical problems and pure lazyness this project has been delayed for too long but finally you can hear how our pre production demo from SAE studios turned out. It features 2 new songs and a Cardigans cover. Enjoy and please tell us what you think! Many thanks to Björn, Jon and Andreas who recorded and mixed the Demo! 2007-06-19 Follow us into the sun... The spring has been busy with lots of gigs at the same time as we've done some major changes within the band. Now we take some relaxing vacation and have started writing on some really promising new material. The 3 new songs we recorded, together with 3 students from the SAE sound engineering school, are now mixed and as soon as they are mastered we'll put them up on the website. 2007-04-20 Change is the only constant! DARN continues to evolve in the pursue of glory and fame. First we would like to announce that Anders is leaving the band to focus his energy on his other project Royale Madness (check them out!). We wish Andy all the best in the future; he is great guy and will be much missed! Jacob will fill Andys space by putting his guitar to rest for a while and instead picking up the bass! He is very excited about this new challenge and has already tracked the bass in the new studio recordings! Last but not the least we would like to welcome Martin Runnding back in the band. Yes, that’s right, our former drummer Martin is teaming up with us again and this time as guitarist! Martin contributed to the song writing already while he was in the band 3 years ago and we’re confident that he will continue to evolve together with the band. We’re all very excited about this reunion! Now we can’t wait to meet the audience with this new constellation!! 2007-04-03 New recording commenced We have once again entered the studio to records some new material. This time we’re working together with three talented guys; Björn, Jon and Andreas in "SAE studios" in Stockholm. We are confident that they will make the songs justice and that we can turn this into a great demo/promo! We’re recording three songs and you’ll be able to hear the final result some time later this spring. You can expect some good shit out of this! 2007-03-16 New gigs confirmed! We're teaming up with our friends in Willowtree and Nancy's Dead on friday 23/3 at KTH/Nymble! It will be a great night and you don't want to miss it!

We would like to give a special thanks to all of you who has listened to us and giving your support during the year! We wish you a merry Christmas and an awesome new year! To sum up the past year… It started with that Malin and Robin parted ways with us and shortly afterwards we hooked up with Andy and Chrill. After been playing not more than a couple of weeks together we did our first gig with the new band. Since then we've played in several cities and festivals. We recorded and released our second EP “A million ways to fail” which was released in November. We also did our first live TV performance in the TV show “Rock n’ Roll TV”! It's been exiting times and we hope to see even more of you out there next year! 2006-11-21 A million ways to fail... ...but we believe that we made it against those odds and are really proud and happy with how the release turned out! Thanks a million to all of you who came down to Obaren and made it such a great evening, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! You can check out some photos from Obaren on the photo page - more will be up soon. More info » 2006-11-04 Welcome to our brand new website! At last - we bring you our brand new website!

The music has now been professionally mastered and the result is really great. The cover is designed and in the middle of this week everything will be sent to print. A brand new web site will be released by the end of this week! We hope that you'll enjoy it as much as we do. Don't forget to put up the release party, 14/11 in your calendars. It will be a blast! 2006-10-10 It started 5 years ago On the 1st of October 2001 we took the first fumbling steps towards what eventually would become the band we call DARN. When looking through the rearview mirror it seems like decades ago and luckily we will spare you of any audio clips of how it sounded back then... Actually it all started out 2 years earlier with me meeting up with Roger at a party through a mutual friend and we instantly found a shared interest in music. We decided to hook up and do some magic together, which we of course never did... We did meet at some more parties though but never actually got around to do more than play a couple of Pearl Jam covers under pretty heavy influence of alcohol... Moving on to the summer of 2001 when I met Isak, a new guy at work, who had played the drums a couple of years earlier. We started making plans of putting together a band and play just for fun. We got a rehearsal place but still we lacked a vocalist and that's when I remembered Roger, so I looked up his number. It must have been the most unexpected call he'd ever had. The conversation went something like this.. - Hi, remember me, Chribbas friend? We talked about playing together a year ago or so, remember? - Uhm... yeah - So I was thinking.. I'm putting together a band, do you wanna join? - Uhm... well.. but I can't really sing. - That's all right, we can't really play either! So what do ya say? - Ehh.. sure, Why not?! - Great! See you on monday! And just like that - we were a band and on the way of making some great musical history! When thinking back it was really one of those calls that turns you upside down and I think that goes for both of us. This was the beginning of something new and who knew where it would take us? Now, five years later, a couple of members have joined and parted ways with us. In a couple of weeks we're releasing a new EP and still I have the same feeling as I did 5 years ago... We're still at the beginning - where will this take us? /Matt 2006-09-26 RELEASE PARTY 14/11 To celebrate the release of our new EP "A million ways to fail" we want to invite you all to share this happy moment with us! Come down to our release party 14/11 at Obaren and get your hands on the brand new CD. The party starts at 20:00!

Actually it's not that big of a deal but of course we’re very flattered and proud to be a part of the project! It started a year ago when 5 students contacted us to be interviewed in a documentary film project about "underground rock bands". Of course we accepted and now a year later the film has been finished. The result is great and we're very impressed! The film also features live clips and interviews with 4 other great bands and a record company. The film is 45 min long and will be up on the website as soon as possible.
