You gotta watch their videos. They don't have any MP3 set up. If you like what you hear, lemme know and I'll make ya' a cdr.

btw, the videos are on the menu at the top of the page. Far off to the right. Their page works funny, too. Just put your mouse pointer thingy over the right arrow and it'll move on it's own.

Not a fan here, really. It's becoming fashionable to rave about them over here. I just can't take them serious, with those videos and vocals. Are all the trendy people in the UK really getting into rock, or do they just see the Darkness as a piss-take, a spoof band? Dare I say Spinal Tap?

I've seen them perform live on a UK tv show, and they can play, just wish they wouldn't package themselves as a laughing stock.

I think in time they will find a true identity. I just hope that they will realize that the identity will be one of a BIG ROCK band. If the vocalist learns to curb his voice, and use it when it is effective (ala Mercury, though The Darkness guy is nowhere in the same league as Freddie), he could be one of the best modern vocalists going. He has skill, and he has range, he is just too over the top, and not in a truely great way. But something about them appeals to me.
