Preston over at kissatlanta.com has been nice enough to post the entire self-titled ep from the Austin quartet, For Those Who Know.

OK, so there was that long weekend and then I went out of town this past weekend and not to mention work has been crasy busy, so I got a little behind updating IAF. Sue me.
Last night fresh back in LA from my weekend abroad I caught Darker My Love at Spaceland who were sicking fuck. I can’t wait for their self titled album to come out, the stuff I’ve heard is great.
MP3: Darker My Love - Summer Is Here
Darker My Love at have 3 more nights of their Spaceland residency left before they open some shows for AFI and play Fuck Yeah Fest.
