When The Darkness talk about their career as Britain's flashiest glam rock band, they tell a story full of highs and lows. The past two decades have been turbulent. Formed in the early 90s in the county of Suffolk, The Darkness have always defied all odds and have long since won the rock'n'roll victory with their fighting spirit and will to survive.
It is undisputed: The Darkness are one of a kind. In their uniqueness, the band around Justin Hawkins has established itself as one of the most popular and influential British rock formations. Their debut "Permission to Land" (2003) immediately climbed the British charts and reached platinum status. The first single "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" foreshadowed the enormous success of their debut album.
With the firm belief that rock'n'roll has to be loud, The Darkness didn't care about what the world demanded musically from the start of their career, but rather what they thought it needed: blistering guitar rock and a screaming voice that gave the band an untouchable recognition value. Their wild live shows created a fanatical fan base in the early 2000s. Exuberant and exuberant, in typical rock style, The Darkness celebrated the peak of their career at the same time. After a temporary band break-up three years after their debut, the glam rockers celebrated their big reunion in 2012 with their comeback album "Hot Cakes". Since then, they have risen like the Phoenix from the ashes and released four more studio albums, all of which were internationally successful. They last came to Germany in 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album "Permission to Land".
Their ninth album "Dreams on Toast" will now be released on March 28. With their signature blend of flamboyant rock anthems and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, this album cements their place at the forefront of British rock. Expect rousing guitar riffs, infectious hooks and a nostalgic but fresh take on the genre that will resonate with long-time fans and new listeners alike.
