TVD Vinyl Giveaway: Those Darlins split 7″ “Summer’s Dead”

Back when they were simply the little band that could, we latched onto Those Darlins. You could say they became our darlins with numerous appearances in these parts which led itself to a full fledged week here at TVD where they curated our goings-on for five days.

Well, the Darlins return to DC this Thursday night (10/25) at DC9 with what they’re calling the “Summer’s Dead” tour which, given our ultra balmy weather this week, might be a bit of a misnomer. Nonetheless, they’re joined by openers Heavy Cream with whom they share a brand new, split 7″ single, and as the headline above makes plain, we’ve got a copy to award to one of you darlins.

Some background: “Those Darlins deliver a new song just in time to celebrate the end of summer fun. The backyard barbecues, swimming holes, and bikini lined lovers are gone and they’re not coming back.”

“Carrying on the grand tradition and spirit of the recently passed Charlie Louvin, “Summer’s Dead” is Those Darlins’ offering to the pantheon of the American murder ballad. Fitting for your upcoming Halloween festivities and inspired by a gruesome murder and Francis Bacon’s provocative paintings, “Summer’s Dead” is a rock n roll ride through an unruly banquet of deadly seduction.”

Missing summer like we are here at TVD HQ? Give us your fondest memory of the summer of 2012 in the comments below, and the most memorable of the bunch will win the split 7″—and don’t forget to check out Those Darlins with Heavy Cream on the road through November!

We’ll choose one winner of the single with a North American mailing address a week from today, 10/30!
