Mickey Darling

**Mickey Darling** is a genre-blurring indie pop duo from San Antonio, Texas, known for their witty, self-aware lyrics and lo-fi charm. Formed in 2018 by vocalist/guitarist Austin Medrano and drummer Skyler Molina, the pair crafts sticky, emo-tinged bops that mix bedroom-pop intimacy with punchy hooks. Their music—like the tongue-in-cheek "ripping my tshirt" or the existential "Let's Dance Until We Get Scared"—often balances humor and vulnerability, resonating with fans who vibe with themes of millennial angst, failed romances, and late-night overthinking. With a DIY ethos and a knack for viral moments (thanks to TikTok-friendly tracks like "BLAH BLAH BLAH"), Mickey Darling has carved out a niche as the soundtrack to messy, relatable coming-of-age moments. Their releases, including the *VROOM VROOM* and *PITY PARTY* EPs, showcase their evolution from scrappy Bandcamp demos to polished yet still endearingly scrappy anthems.
