The Last Of Their Kind storm the capital
3 June, 2015: The Darkness launch their huge new album The Last Of Our Kind by proving to be exactly that with an insane show at Dingwalls in London. Check out our awesome and exclusive photos from the show here.
“Everyone needs to go out and buy our new album, cuss we’re trying so fucking hard,” confessed a sweaty Justin Hawkins, mid-set at their headline show at Camden’s Dingwalls. Releasing their forth album ‘Last of Our Kind’ could certainly hold more actuality and depth to its pertinent name, seeing as now could be the make or break moment for a band who’ve arguably already had their time in the spotlight.
Indeed it must be a difficult adjustment to reality, as in their heyday The Darkness could be found topping the charts and running around award shows in tight spandex. Nowadays, fortunately or unfortunately (however you want to look at it), all that remains is indeed the spandex. But after years of time out, The Darkness are back to regain their title as one of the most exciting glam rock acts in the Uk and beyond.
