Daring Darling is a four-piece post-grunge/rock band from the Eindhoven region, blending the raw energy of ’90s grunge and alternative rock with a mature, layered songwriting approach. Heavy where it needs to be, vulnerable where it can be, the band has built a strong live reputation, winning both the Kempener Pop Prize and the Stichting JAM Band Battle.
In 2026, Daring Darling releases their new EP LifeLine, a cohesive and urgent record exploring themes of control, freedom, growth, and responsibility. With a compelling live show and a clear artistic identity, the band delivers raw, honest, and emotionally charged rock that resonates both on stage and on record.
