Darker My Love's overdriven soul isn't the most original thing in the world — imagine the Jesus and Mary Chain channeled by Brian Jonestown Massacre — but give the Los Angeles band credit for creative album promotion (lucky attendees of several recent shows walked away with a gratis special-edition 7-inch). Here's a chance to hear the band's swirling songs alongside the Strange Boys and Blonde Acid Cult.
