Deadbeat Darling is a four-piece rock band which formed in New York City in 2006. The band's sound is a blend of several musical genres, including rock, surf, reggae, dub and trip hop. They have released one EP and two full-length albums.

BlackBook Magazine also named Deadbeat Darling one of the Best Bands of CMJ 2010.[1]

The band recorded their next record, The Angel's Share, at Monnow Valley Studio in Wales with Grammy award winning producer Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Gomez, The Charlatans) and Grammy award winning mixer Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, My Bloody Valentine) in May 2011, and released the album in April 2012.[2] After the Angel's Share tour, the band went on hiatus, and Joseph recorded a solo album in 2013.[citation needed]
