Sortie de Hot Cakes le 21 août :

UK rockers The Darkness return on Tuesday (Aug 21)with “Hot Cakes,” the reunited band’s third studio album.

After a seven-year wait, the new project – produced by the band's Justin and Dan Hawkins with longtime collaborator Nick Brine and mixed by Bob Ezrin – is expected to deliver the epic rock anthems and infectious pop choruses the multi-platinum band has become renowned for worldwide.

Since The Darkness – Justin Hawkins (vocals/guitars), Dan Hawkins (guitars/backing vocals), Frankie Poullain (bass) and Ed Graham (drums) – resumed active service a year ago on the main stage of 2011's Download festival with their original lineup, the British group have accomplished a lot. They've completed sold-out tours of the U.K. and North America; were featured in a Superbowl ad (broadcast to over 100 million viewers in the tense fourth quarter of the game); finished recording "Hot Cakes" and released a free teaser track and video, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us."

The Darkness made its U.K. live comeback in June 2011 in front of just 200 people at the Norwich Waterfront - check out video of the show here.

The band’s debut, 2003’s "Permission To Land," hit the No. 1 spot in the U.K. chart and won the "MasterCard British Album" at the 2004 Brit Awards (along with "Best British Group" and "British Rock Act").

Between 2003 and 2006, The Darkness was honored with many awards and accolades; along with three Brit Awards, the band won an Ivor Novello in 2004 for "Songwriters Of The Year", four Kerrang! Awards, two Metal Hammer Awards, an MTV Europe Music Award and even an Elle Style Award in 2004 for "Most Stylish Band."

In June, the band teased the release of "Hot Cakes" by issuing the single, “Everybody Have A Good Time.”

The Darkness are currently on tour throughout Europe opening for Lady Gaga.

Et dans la foulée, Emily Dolan Davies (qui a enregistré les parties de batterie sur le nouvel album) annonce :
"I’m sad to report that I have parted ways with The Darkness…

It was a very fun period, that I will always look fondly upon, and also being a part of ‘Last Of Our Kind’ was a huge privilege. I’m really looking forward to everyone hearing the album!

All the best lads and i’ll see you on the circuit no doubt"

Nouveau single

Merci à Aline95 de SFC.

"Rock'n'Roll Deserves To Die" est le 1er Single du nouvel Album "Easter Is Cancelled" qui parait le 4 oct. chez Cooking Vinyl.

"Heart Explodes" est le 2ème Single de ce nouvel Album "Easter Is Cancelled"

Frontman Justin Hawkins : "It’s about the despair of change. Having to reappraise your life and what you're holding on to. It’s like that feeling when you just want to go for a swim and keep going. Wanting to be enveloped by something that will gradually pull you down. If you really, really want to survive that process, you can. We've all been there - people who say they haven't are lying."

Guitariste Dan Hawkins : "The difference between the Darkness’ sadness and other bands’ sadness is that we don’t wallow in it. Even when it’s sad, there’s a playfulness to it."

New single Jussy's Girl extrait du nouvel allbum Motorheart à paraître le 19 novembre :

THE DARKNESS : Live At Hammersmith

Ce double live de The Darkness a une pêche incroyable. En effet, il enchaîne les tubes à toute volée, le tout supporté vaillamment par le bouillant public de l'Hammersmith réputé exigeant. Oeuvrant dans un joyeux glam rock, et enchaînant les albums selon un rythme bien soutenu, le groupe décida de proposer ce live qui intervenait après l'album Pinewood Smile en 2017. Et bien leur en a pris d'aller l'enregistrer en ce lieu légendaire qui a l'honneur d'assister à une prestation véritablement incendiaire. La nouvelle recrue à l'époque, c'est le batteur Rufus Taylor (issu de Queen + Adam Lambert) et force est d'admettre que c'est lui qui redynamise l'interprétation du répertoire du groupe. Des riffs binaires à la AC/DC sans concession, chapeautés par cette voix de Justin Hawkins tantôt aigüe (déconcertante aussi), tantôt enjôleuse (épaulé de tant à autre par son frère Dan) sont au menu de ce live époustouflant. On finit sur leur tubesque tube I Believe In A Thing Called Love qui achève littéralement la mythique salle londonienne. Mazette, quel liiiiive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
