Album four should be out in early 2015. They're also going to have a new drummer this time around.

Did the previous one explode?

Permission is awesome. Their subsequent output not so much.

I really like the Hot Leg album. I was hoping for another one from them more than I was a Darkness reunion.

Love On The Rocks With No Ice is mammoth. They were so great in those early days, and such a treat to interview. They fucked it up so badly with the second album.

I only remember '1984' from the Hot Leg record. Oh, and maybe 'Cocktail.'

Hot Cakes might be the best Darkness album unfortunately no one has ever heard it.

I kinda thought the 2nd album was pretty dope. Try "Is It Just Me," "Dinner Lady Arms," "Girlfriend," "English Country Garden" and the title track. Honestly I think the 1st album is equally spotty, but the highlights are kinda incredible.

So many great memories just thinking about that first Darkness record.

They were very entertaining live around the time of that first album!

One Way Ticket to Hell...And Back is a great album, but its nowhere near as immediate as the first Darkness album. It didn't help that the first single was garbage too.

Yeah, I listened to Hot Cakes and really liked it.

I wouldn't call it garbage, but it was a bad choice for a lead single.

i kind of love how their new single rips off 'sex type thing'

OH THE STATE OF ELATION THAT THIS UNISON OF HEARTS HAS ACHIVEVED

“Growing on Me” is still in my head 15 years later or whatever The best song about crabs ever written

"Christmas Time" is one of the all-time great Christmas records, snow fucks given

the lost b-side “out of my hands” is ace

I think 'Christmas Time' is the best Darkness song full stop!
