Meet The Darcys. You’ll be glad you did.

These up-and-coming Canadian indie-rockers (#5 on Clash Magazine’s Top 10 New Canadian Acts) are using all the right tools to maximize their presence and build a growing fanbase online.

Here’s their latest YouTube video:

You’ll also want to check out their website at thedarcys.ca.

Notice their use of cdBaby.net for physical and digital distribution, which has the potential to be a powerful and reliable low-maintenance distribution model.

If you’re just starting to build your site, I’d recommend a self-hosted WordPress blog. I use a hosting company like this one that provides a quick and easy Fantastico installation. The WordPress platform is very intuitive and the forums at WordPress.org are usually helpful to answer a wide range of questions while you get used to your new site. If you need some help getting started, feel free to leave a comment below.

And check out TheDarcys.ca! Great music, and you can learn a few things too!
