Description
Multi-award winning music band The Darkness return with their fourth album 'Last Of Our Kind', produced by guitarist Dan Hawkins. Penned in Ireland the record is bursting with the very finest rock-based music available to mankind, as one might expect.
It is the first album to feature new drummer Emily Dolan Davies. She replaces original drummer Ed Graham who departed in mysterious circumstances. Having been drumming since 1999, Emily has played with everybody from the likes of Bono, Bryan Ferry and Tricky. Now she has shown herself to be equal to the ultimate music challenge.
'Last of Our Kind' is the meaty and impassioned follow-up to 2012's 'Hot Cakes' which saw the band reunited having enjoyed a well-publicized and well-deserved hiatus. As distinguished guests of Def Leppard, The Darkness destroyed Download Festival in 2011, then waved goodbye to their loved ones and toured planet Earth for over 18 months. They rounded off 2013 with a celebratory tour marking the 10th Anniversary of their legendary number one debut album. 'Permission to Land' featured the classics 'I Believe In a Thing Called Love', 'Love is Only a Feeling', 'Love on the Rocks with No Ice' and 'Love is a Many Splendoured Thing'; it was the fastest selling debut album by a British band in America since that of The Spice Girls.
'Last of Our Kind is a collection of 10 magnificent songs that The Darkness are extremely proud of. It is the best rock album you will hear this year. It is the best rock album you will hear until next time The Darkness makes an album. I should know. I'm the singer.' - Justin Hawkins / The Darkness
Description
The Darkness released their fourth album earlier this year, and the world was a better place for it. But great news! The band has found some more tracks hidden under a carelessly discarded catsuit and thought they would make an excellent Christmas gift to their fans. Especially when one of the songs title has the seasonal sounding title 'I Am Santa' – hmm. . .
So, 'Last Of Our Kind' + Deluxe Edition will be released on 20th November 2015 with 4 new tracks: 'Messenger', 'Always Had The Blues', 'Million Dollar Strong' and 'I Am Santa'. They join the phenomenal original 10 tracks which were unleashed earlier this year to critical acclaim.
