THE DARKNESS

hello again BoyGeorgePeru, thanks for adding this The Darkness video, it took me a while for me to get into this band, I liked some of their music, I've even seen them live a few times, I still find Justin Hawins singing voice just that little bit irritanting almost like a cat in agony.
Justin Hawkings has formed a new group called Hot Leg & he's still that annoying squealing prat on stage.
As for his brother he''s also got a new band going in the name of Stone Gods which are far better.

But thanks again for sending in this yet funny video here.

Hi Scotscub i liked this video since first time i saw it on MTV and yes it is funny but it sounds great !!

Just when you thought it was safe to take out those ear plugs with Justin Hawkin's high pitched squealing voice, if you're a fan of this band then there's some good news they've reformed again all original line up,if you're not a fan of this band then be afraid be very afraid not only are they back together again,they could be appearing on your tv screens any moment again and if that wasn't bad enough they've even announced a UK tour( probably for the rest of the world).
The Darkness played a sold-out gig last night at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire – come inside for some exclusive pix from the show.
Performing in the capital for the first time since they re-formed earlier this year, the band (with frontman Justin Hawkins sporting twirly moustache and beard) played hits from their 2003 album Permission To Land including I Believe In A Thing Called Love, Growing On Me, Love Is Only A Feeling and Black Shuck as well as One Way Ticket from their second album.

New songs debuted at the show included Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us, Cannonball and Concrete.

The gig, which followed performances in Norwich and Leamington Spa, served as a warm-up for The Darkness’ performance at this weekend’s Download Festival.
