History

Justin Mauriello started I Hate Kate in 2004, while still in Zebrahead, as a creative outlet. The band has seen a steady rise in success. I Hate Kate played with bands such as Social Distortion, Chevelle, Hot Hot Heat, The Bravery, The Living End, My Chemical Romance, Unwritten Law, Secondhand Serenade, and Shiny Toy Guns. Tours have taken them throughout the U.S., Canada, and Japan.[ citation needed ]

In December 2007, the band with record producer Mark Trombino recorded new songs and remixed previous tracks. They released their first full-length album, Embrace the Curse , on June 24, 2008 under Glassnote Records. In early 2010, the band recorded an album entitled Race to Red , with producer Lee Miles. The band released the first single off the album, "Free Without You", on January 12, 2010. They have released music videos for "Free Without You" and "Unspoken".

In June 2010, a woman named Kate, after whom the band was named, left frontman Justin Mauriello an angry voicemail about the use of her name for the band, threatening legal action. [1] The band felt it was in their best interest to change their name to Darling Thieves, under which name the new album was released on June 17, 2010.

As Darling Thieves they have headlined their own shows and shared the stage with The Smashing Pumpkins, Chevelle, OK Go, Anberlin, Flobots, and Hollywood Undead.

Darling Thieves have been on a hiatus since 2012, while members of the band raise their children. Meanwhile, Mauriello released a solo EP, How's Life In California?, recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. On March 16, 2016, the band debuted a new single, "Get It", their first release since The Extended Play EP, on a local radio station.
