Daphne Loves Derby Daphne Loves Derby is an American Indie-pop rock band that formed in Kent, Washington. They are a celebrated band on PureVolume, and they now have over 5,000,000 plays. For a time, they held the number one spot on PureVolume's Unsigned Artists page, but in 2005 signed onto Outlook  ON THE STRENGTH OF ALL CONVINCED

This is the perfect back-to-school CD. Why? It's more soothing than head-spinning, so it's great background music while hitting the homework books (on low volume, hatch). Also, the lyrics are so poetic that they're inspiring. Crack 'dem books!
