Ahead of their UK tour and Last Of Our Kind Deluxe album Edition, The Darkness have yet again proved their Christmas credentials with latest festive offering ‘I Am Santa.’

Justin Hawkins and xo are back with another festive new single ‘I Am Santa’ from the upcoming deluxe edition of their album, Last Of Our Kind, out tomorrow (20 November).

Being no strangers to the art of crafting a Christmas cracker after 'Don't Let The Bells End', ‘I Am Santa’ sees the band figure themselves as everyone’s favourite jolly old fat guy, Saint Nick, delivering the gift of a great rock song to those on the nice list. The clip is a fittingly retro throwback to those vintage 70's Christmas.

Due for release tomorrow, the deluxe edition of Last Of Our Kind features four new tracks; ‘Messenger,’ ‘Always Had The Blues,’ ‘Million Dollar Strong,’ and ‘I Am Santa.’ The 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' band will then commence their Blast Of Their Own Kind tour playing tracks from the album starting in Norwich on 28 November and finishing at The Roundhouse in London on 20 December.
