The Darkness Reform

2011-03-17 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 73 Comments
Sales of colourful one-piece bodysuits could be increasing this year, since award-winning British rock band The Darkness have reformed.

The band - most famous for their smash hit 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' - broke up in 2006 when lead vocalist Justin Hawkins quit, but all 4 original members are back together and will play this year's Download Festival in June.

Prior to that however, The Darkness will hit the studios in April/May and look to record their 3rd LP. Some tracks have already been written with the Hawkins brothers (Justin & guitarist Dan) secretly writing since late last year. "It was frustrating for a long time to not be able to tell anybody because we've had to sort of keep it a secret" Justin has recently stated.

Austin can't hit those high notes like Justin can. It's all in the tightness of the bodysuit.

the only thing i know about these guys apart from their big song is this exchange:

Lemmy: you guys fucking suck, "novelty act"

The Darkness: FINE, you can't come to our shows... BANNED

Lemmy: (has already completely forgotten that this band exists)

(time passes)

The Darkness: (now irrelevant) lets bury the hatchet, man.

Lemmy: kk... your record still fucking sucks, tho

Wait, comparisons to Hinder? Maybe I'm remembering Hinder wrong, but aren't the two bands nothing alike?

Anyway, here's hoping they can write another fun album.
