Don't be put off by the slightly umm 'dark' name...The Darkness are the best thing to happen to the UK charts in quite a while!
They were virtually unheard of at the beginning of the year but their debut album, Permission To Land, is now firmly seated in the #1 position on the charts and their second single I Believe In A Thing Called Love looks set to follow suit.
The band are playing a few gigs in America just to test the water at the New York Bowery Ballroom (September 18), Toronto Lee's Palace (20) and The Los Angeles Roxy (22).
And the album is being rush released there too cos it's doing funky shtuff in the charts here in the UK
A certain guy by the name of Bono once said:
"Great rock 'n' roll, the raw stuff, is pure joy. It's that sense of being alive, of being grateful for your pulse."
And The Darkness sound just like that I figured it was about time they had a thread here
Anyone else here like them? Just humour me
If you want to hear their stuff, there are 3 videos up on their site at the mo http://www.thedarknessrock.com The vid for I Believe In A Thing Called Love is highly recommended for the factor plus the fact that you'll never get it out of your head
