I didn't particularly like the Darkness the first time round, but now it feels like the music world really needs this. Great song.

I was thinking the same thing ! and now im upset because im off of school tomorrow so that would have worked out perfectly !

[stef123]

It's not bad, but I hope the rest of the album has more of a no BS rock feel that their debut had. Get your hands of my woman mother****a!

[Ghost_Dancer]

Wow. The Darkness are back with a vengeance! I like really like this!

[connor494]

this ****ing rocks!!

"The song was written in the early years of the bands existence, but it's possible it was recorded for demo purposes, as other songs from this era were. I think it's safe to say that now they have decided to play this one live, it will feature at some point on a new release." - a Darkness youtube page, June 2011.

Y'all go get some tickets. I'm nearly certain that The Darkness didn't sell out in Toronto.

Justin Hawkins rockin the epic mustache and goatee

If the song was anywhere near as good as the video, the world would be in trouble.

Unfortunately, we don't have to worry about that.

[RGallagherFan]

19+ FFFFFUUUUU

[famous cow man]

sounds awesome also seem to have matured a bit musically (notlyrically thought, luckily )

[me_llamo_juan]

This is good news.

I immediately wrote them off on thier first single, when the singer does the guitar solo. In classic rock bands, the frontman is the frontman, and the guitar god is the guitar god. This Justin whoever idiot, with his 100% falsetto singing wants to be both.

and is you tool, there are no rules

[Instant Mash]

I think their new album has some serious potential, judging from that. Then again, I loved both of their previous albums.

Loved the video. I remain hopeful that they DO call the album Solos-R-Us

[gquady09]

I can see them on the Minneapolis date, and 2 days later I'll be seeing Megadeth on Gigantour 2012!

I just got home from the Toronto show and I can definitely tell you his voice sounds fantabulous!

[Miyagi84]

not bad a bad song... I hope there are some heavier riffs or cool solos on the rest o the album though. They take alot of influence from AC/DC and Thin Lizzy among others, and if they do it right they can be a really awesome sounding band. But so far I really only heard that cool combo of influence from their smash single a few years back though, which is probably why that was their only big hit.

[dr-g0nz0]

Great to see them back! I'm hoping for the sound that One Way Ticket had, but I highly doubt it if it's the original bassist.

Still, I'm very excited to see these guys kicking it out again. It's been too long!

[symmetryerased]

A really good start for 2012. Welcome Back!
