The Darlingtons officially release their album today! However, a word of caution. Don’t even think about getting within earshot of this album without a proximity suit. Yeah, it’s that hot. No doubt this album will be one of the best of 2012 hands down. After the jump listen to the full album stream of Decades Dance, by the way these babies need to be played extremely loud for maximum results. As the songs wash over you you’ll notice how every single track makes its way into the deepest recesses of your brain; and there it’ll stay lodged and rockin’ for, er… forever. Peace.

I’ve been singing (writing) the praises of the band The Darlingtons since the release of their New Independent EP (2011), and I am still unflagging in my admiration of what this quartet of young guns have accomplished in such short order. Some rock bands take decades to gel into something that catches your attention. Not these guys, this troupe of bright and talented young men have made possible, in a handful of years, what others never realize. But really, it’s no surprise once you listen to what they can do with a couple of guitars, a bass and an drum set. They craft songs from the secret places within their collective hearts and fuel them with passion enough to conquer you mind, body and soul. And the icing on the cake is lead vocalist Kiran ‘Kiwi’ Roy, as he punches holes in the air with his smouldering masculine sound cannon of a voice. These guys may just be the new Kings of Leon. Yes, The Darlingtons are of that caliber.
The band’s second single “Everything” is taken from their forthcoming album Decades Dance, it starts off with clever guitar licks before exploding into an earful of radiant fireworks. The Decades Dance LP is due for a May 21st release. I am definitely looking forward to some possible U.S. tour dates, but if they keep churning out incredible music I expect to see them sooner rather than later. Peace.
