Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

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.

‘The Darlingtons are what happens when the collective energies of four young men are harnessed (barely), hammered out and pressed onto vinyl. What you hear in the raging notes and lonely lyrics of their music, is the full gamut of human emotions. The channeling of the hope, desire, and emotional baggage (with all its ups and downs) multiplied by a factor of four. The rage is evident. Yet, it is retrained, introspective and always passionate within the width and length of each song. Still, it isn’t enough to simply say something kind about The Darlingtons and leave well enough alone. I admire and applaud their efforts mainly because, like so many of their countrymen, a connection is being forged.

I cheer for them, not because I am being paid to do so, I most assuredly am not. I write what I write because when I put this band’s music on the player and I hear what comes forth, it feels like small doses of adrenaline are being dumped into my veins, and I feel enlivened.

With the forthcoming release of “Bats”, the new single from The Darlingtons’ upcoming debut LP Decades Dance. This song is awash in an enlivened tempo, and it is only natural to gravitate towards something which inspires one’s soul to soar a bit. The Darlingtons, without a doubt, I play them really loud, and often. Peace.

“Bats” from The Darlingtons forthcoming full-length, scheduled to drop March 19, 2012 via Ordered Records

If you haven’t listened to The Darlingtons‘ New Independent EP I ask that you start now. Why? It’s simple, they are good. I rate them right up there with The National, and that is saying more than a mouthful. Actually, they’re kind of a hybrid of The National and Echo & The Bunnymen. Lead-singer Kiran ‘Kiwi’ Roy has a voice both endearing and wistful. Think David Bowie spliced with Matt Berninger of The National. The music is full, with a big driving guitar sound. A sound which will scoop you up like a monster tidal wave and hold you tight. Yeah, that good. Currently, the down to earth guys from Tauton, UK are hard at work on their debut LP and touring. However, I strongly believe that 2012 is going to be their year. So, watch the skyline for their meteoric rise. Peace.
