Wicked Cool Records Reissues "You Are What You Absorb" The 2013 Debut Solo Full-Length From "Trash Pop" Maven Palmyra Delran

Wicked Cool Records has released a 'Turtle Green' vinyl reissue of You Are What You Absorb, the 2013 12-track debut solo full-length from "trash-pop" maven and popular Little Steven's Underground Garage DJ Palmyra Delran.

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 with The Coolies and more.

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 six-track solo EP She Digs the Ride. He added it to the Little Steven's 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, which gained Delran considerable attention for her efforts.

The EP was followed up in 2013 with You Are What You Absorb, Delran's first full-length solo effort. The album included the single "You’re My Brian Jones", featuring a music video directed by Daniel Henry, and shot on location in Nashville. Little Steven continued his support of Delran's work, voting "You're My Brian Jones" his No. 1 song of the year.

When she’s not writing, recording, or touring, Ms. Delran brings the rock and soul to the people as host of Palmyra’s Trash-Pop Shindig on Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel, Monday and Tuesday afternoons 4:00pm - 7:00pm, Wednesday and Thursday evenings 8:00pm to midnight, with a weekend special Palmyra’s Trash Pop Treasures Sat 8:00am and Sun noon on SiriusXM 21. “I get to unleash the geek and not just bore my friends with music facts!”
