The Darkness

Hold onto your seats, because The Darkness is back with their upcoming album Dreams On Toast, set to rock your world in March 2025! New single ‘The Longest Kiss’ available now! This isn’t just an album — it’s a flamboyant, glitter-covered rocket ship to the peak of British rock glory. Packed with epic guitar solos, dangerously catchy hooks, and lyrics that walk the fine line between genius and absolute madness, Dreams On Toast will have longtime fans screaming in falsetto and new listeners wondering "Where have these glorious weirdos been all my life?" The Darkness stormed the early 2000s rock scene with their debut album Permission to Land (2003), reviving the over-the-top spirit of classic rock. They quickly made waves with their flamboyant performances and tongue-in-cheek humour, winning awards and breaking records. After splitting following their second album, One Way Ticket to Hell...And Back (2005), the band reunited in 2011, releasing Hot Cakes (2012), Easter Is Cancelled (2019), and Motorheart (2021), among others. Led by the wild and irrepressible Justin Hawkins, The Darkness is known for their theatrical stage shows, outrageous outfits, and Hawkins' iconic falsetto, often compared to Freddie Mercury. They fought through personal challenges, lineup changes, and a brief split, but their commitment to bombastic rock and humour kept them at the top, releasing seven albums and thrilling fans worldwide.
