Who is Joe Darone?

Darone's musical journey began in the late 80's as a founding member of the pop-punk band, The Fiendz (whose career peak found them opening for The Ramones). He later joined The Rosenbergs, a power-pop group that toured with Echo & the Bunnymen and Tom Tom Club, among others, and whose songs were featured in shows like MTV's Undergrads and the opening theme for the CBS sitcom Accidentally on Purpose.

In 2003, Darone turned his focus on songwriting, and Suit of Lights was born. Collaborating with Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), Steve Pedulla (Thursday), and Jamie Egan (Streetlight Manifesto), Darone released four critically-acclaimed albums under the Suit of Lights moniker.

As a graphic designer, Darone worked under the name Zeckle and has created album covers and logos for a wide range of artists including Madonna and Van Halen.
