The Darkness, otherwise known as the Pop band that successfully tricked brain-dead zombies around the world into thinking they were a unique, original and quirky Rock band, by ripping off superior bands and adding ridiculous falsetto vocals, despite the fact everything they did had been heard before in the 70s and 80s, only better, are officially back. I know you’re probably about as excited as I am at this prospect.
For those with poor memories, The Darkness rose to fame in the early 2000s when they released their breakthrough album, Permission to Land, which can only be described as like the sound of your parents making love; sickening. After the band’s fifteen minutes of fame was up, a large proportion of the population realized the band were in fact shit and their second album flopped, and the band then split up shortly afterwards (hallelujah).
It is with great sadness that we at Dose of Metal report on the band’s return, but we have to do these things unfortunately to warn you guys. We’ve already reported on one disaster this week and we don’t want another one. No doubt the band ran out of money and now they’re trying to pull the nostalgia card. Original guys, almost as original as your terrible music.
The band are also playing the UK’s Download Festival, which is brilliant news, because I’m not going. More info here.
