About this artist
Palmyra Delran is an American rock and roll musician, songwriter, guitarist and producer who was born in Princeton, New Jersey and later moved to Philadelphia. She played in seminal 1990s Philadelphia-area rock bands The Friggs and Pink Slip Daddy, as well as several of her own solo releases and recordings.
In 2008, Delran released She Digs the Ride, a six-track EP, featuring the song "Baby Should Have Known Better", which was selected by Little Steven's Underground Garage as The Coolest Song in the World in 2008, and which gained Delran considerable attention for her efforts.
Little Steven Van Zandt was a reported fan of Delran's previous band, the Friggs, and attended their 2008 NYC reunion show. After striking up a conversation with Palmyra, he learned of her new solo EP She Digs the Ride. He added it to the Underground Garage playlist, picking "Baby Should Have Known Better" as a "Coolest Song in the World This Week", followed by radio listeners voting it "Coolest Song in the World" for 2008.
The EP was followed up in 2013 with You Are What You Absorb, Delran's first full-length solo effort.
