Those Darlins

Screws Get Loose

7.2 out of 10

Glimmering and gritty, Screws Get Loose glorifies tomboys with infectious choruses and chugging guitars, impregnating your brain with never-ending proverbs of defiance. These girlish daredevils of rockabilly – plus a boy – influence compulsions of badassery in spurts, even if the tracks tend to drone in succession. Hell, I'd be your bro.
