The Darkness is a British rock band formed in Lowestoft, Suffolk in 2000 by brothers Justin Hawkins and Dan Hawkins. They recorded and released their debut album Permission to Land in 2003. After a hiatus, the band reunited in 2011 and released their third studio album Hot Cakes in 2012. With various lineup changes over the years, The Darkness have continued to release music, including albums Last of Our Kind (2015), Pinewood Smile (2017), and Easter Is Cancelled (2019).Justin Hawkins serves as the lead singer of The Darkness, bringing his powerful vocals and energetic stage presence to their performances. The band's sound is characterized by catchy hooks, heavy guitar riffs, and an overall classic rock influence.With their distinct style and memorable hits like "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" and "Growing on Me," The Darkness has garnered a dedicated fan base worldwide. Their dynamic live shows are known for their high energy and entertainment value.

Multi-platinum UK glam rock giants THE DARKNESS bring you Motorheart, a record of immeasurable rock and roll extravagance and yet another masterpiece from England’s favorite rock icons. Brimming with their trademark blazing guitar riffs, solos and soaring falsetto, singer Justin Hawkins says, “Motorheart rocks harder than anything we’ve done before. It makes me happy and proud to crank it up and literally shake my Swiss chalet to its foundations. Dan did an awesome job on the production, it’ll take your face off, but your skull will be grinning from meatus to meatus. Please, to enjoy.” Paying homage to a devoted sex robot named Motorheart, the album growls, pounds and stomps with Rufus Taylor’s drums, Frankie Poullain’s bass and Justin &amp; Dan Hawkins’ guitars all turned up to 11, whilst Justin’s trademark vocals soar to ever more earthquaking levels. Drop the needle anywhere on Motorheart and be instantly transported from this moaning and weeping vale of tears to Elysian fields of rock where all hands are raised, the drinks – just as in the Club Tropicana of yore – are free, and everyone wears a pleasingly salacious grin. Does it rock? Is the sun hot? Has your partner’s touch grown cold? The Darkness are the Orwellian boot stamping on the flaccid face of limp rock, forever!
