“A dark representation of painful events put in a pretty and crisp bow,” that’s how lead singer of Donovan Wolfington, Neil Berthier, would describe their new record. As a band, they have unfortunately seen their fair share of loss over the past couple of years but they didn’t always have a dark cloud following them around. As a matter fact, they found great success with the release of their album, Stop Breathing (2013), and their EP on Topshelf Records, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (2014). Both releases offered a nostalgic punk sound with a southern rock charm, which created an impressively loyal fan base.
This southern charm is no surprise as the band is currently based out of New Orleans. Neil Berthier and Matthew Seferian (guitar/vocals) met in their freshman year of college where they discovered they both had a passion for music that extended further than jam sessions and the college scene. They joined forces and Donovan Wolfington was born. Today, the band also includes Alex Skalany (bass) and Michael Saladis (drums).
