The Darkness is a British rock band that has made a name for itself with its infectious guitar riffs, catchy melodies and unmistakable glam rock style. Formed in 2000 in Lowestoft, Suffolk, the band consists of brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and Rufus Tiger Taylor. With their flamboyant appearance, Justin Hawkins' distinctive falsetto voice and a mixture of rock'n'roll and humour, The Darkness has built up a loyal fan base.
The band's breakthrough came in 2003 with their debut album "Permission to Land"which produced hits such as "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" and "Growing on Me". The album was a worldwide success and received numerous awards, including three BRIT Awards. Their style, reminiscent of classic rock bands such as Queen and AC/DC, combined with modern elements, made them a distinctive act of the early 2000s.
Despite ups and downs, including band breaks and member changes, The Darkness remained active and released further albums such as "One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back" (2005) and "Motorheart" (2021). Their energetic live performances are legendary and show that the band is not only convincing musically, but also as entertainers. With their inimitable blend of glamour, rock and a pinch of self-irony, The Darkness remains a unique force in the rock world.
