There are two extremes in music: pitiful angst and over-the-top perkiness. Right in the middle is Daphne Loves Derby and their album, ON THE STRENGTH OF ALL CONVINCED. A refreshingly neutral smooth-rock band, DLD has the trendy “beach” sound that fits into the sunny teen craze. From upbeat songs to piano ballads, the boys have figured out how to make an album that can be listened to all the way through, and they’re not even 20. Their lyrical inspiration lies solely in their belief in themselves and their talent and confidence is paving their way to success in the adolescent Cali genre. –Andrea Aycock
