Allo Darlin' -- a sunny, lighthearted twee pop outfit along the lines of the School and A Smile and a Ribbon -- began as a vehicle for the solo songwriting exploits of Australia-born and London-based Elizabeth Morris. Morris, guitarist Paul Rains, bassist Will Harrison, and drummer Michael Collins released their first single, "Henry Rollins Don't Dance," in 2009. The band's self-titled debut full-length, produced by Simon Trought, was released on Fortuna Pop in the summer of 2010. ~ Tim Sendra
