In some bands, losing a member can be like throwing the emergency brake on creative momentum, but Those Darlins have kept chugging along since losing co-founder and bassist Kelley Anderson in February.
Anderson had been with the Murfreesboro, Tenn.-based punk/country band since it was formed by friends who met at the Southern Girls Rock & Roll Camp in 2006.
