About
The Darkness exploded into the public consciousness for both their unique brand of glammed-up rock and outrageous stage costumes when their debut album 'Permission To Land' shot to number one, spawning new rock anthems including 'Love Is Only A Feeling', 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' and 'Growing On Me'. It was also the fastest selling debut album by a British band in America since The Spice Girls. They also achieved the rare feat of releasing a modern Christmas single that continues to be played on radio every December. They have gone through a few line-up changes over the years, but they continue to rock, as ever with the flamboyant Justin Hawkins at the helm.
