the darkness

British rock 'n' rollers the Darkness have been forced to postpone their upcoming Australia / New Zealand tour dates due to drummer Ed Graham's severe hip problems. Having already gone through "extensive surgery" several years ago, Graham has been playing through the pain for the last few weeks, but the drummer has now been advised to rest up and undergo testing before returning to his s

The Darkness have unleashed a music video for their tune ‘With a Woman,' which marks the fourth single from the band’s 2012 disc ‘Hot Cakes.’ The clip delivers ‘Episode 1’ of what will likely take music fans on a trip down memory lane to a time when the hair was big and the videos were larger than life.

The Darkness are known for their boundless energy and bringing their all to their live shows, but frontman Justin Hawkins' enthusiasm got the better of him at a recent show in Stockholm, Sweden when he took a tumble into the crowd.

The Darkness' reunion will continue beyond their 'Hot Cakes' album and guitarist Dan Hawkins says that fans shouldn't expect too long of a turnaround before a new record arrives.

After a bit of an extended break, the Darkness returned in August with their latest disc ‘Hot Cakes,’ the follow-up to 2005's 'One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back.' Now, as if making up for lost time, the band is plotting to take their tasty musical treats out on the road again for a 2013 headlining run that will span 15 countries.

You’ve heard just how long Thom Yorke can hold a falsetto note in the Radiohead classic ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out).’ So who would be the hard rock or metal equivalent? The Darkness‘ Justin Hawkins of course.

Simple enough, each day we'll feature 2 new songs at 6pm with Chaz, then you vote for your favorite here. Any song that wins 5 in a row gets retired to the Cage Match Hall of Fame. The fate of these 2 bands are in your hands.

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins and drummer Ed Graham. At the end of a captivating conversation with half of the British rock giants, the duo reminisced about some of their most memorable encounters with fans, which included signing a man’s rump and penning an autograph on the testicles of a stuffed family dog.

With anticipation building for their first album since 2005, the Darkness have debuted the lyric video for the song ‘Every Inch of You’ from their upcoming ‘Hot Cakes’ disc (due Aug. 21). The first single and video from the album, ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us’ was released earlier this year. In addition, the full track list for ‘Hot Cakes’ has also been released.

As previously reported, the Darkness are returning to North America for a tour next month, the band’s first stateside outing since 2004. Frontman Justin Hawkins and his guitarist brother Dan Hawkins told Loudwire recently that the band is hard at work on a new album that is tentatively set to drop in the spring.
