One of the UK’s most entertaining band’s in recent memory are back, that’s right -The Darkness have unveiled details of their new album entitled ‘Pinewood Smile’. Check out the artwork below:
The album is released on October 6th and features the lead single All The Pretty Girls. Listen to the track below:
Some may “What is The Darkness’ relevance in 2017?” Front-man Justin Hawkins had this to say:
“Why should anybody care? Because if you don’t, we’re fucked!! History will remember us as the apathetic generation who negligently ushered in a dreadful dystopian age that may or may not come to be known as ‘The Rise of the Arseclowns’. We cannot allow this to continue! You may not give a shit about Brexit or Trump, but PLEASE… give a shit about The Darkness otherwise the last bastion of cultural sensibility will fall and our airwaves will be polluted by meaningless pop purveyed by arseholes and morons… Oh wait!”
