.... Album can be heard HERE and the video also.

Can't say I'm a big fan of 'em though!

They're ok in a kind of old-skool British heavy metal way with a good pinch of Spinal Tap thrown in.

IMHO Dan Hawkins is a pretty good guitarist though [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

On a scale of 1 to 10, they get my foot tapping [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like the new single. I also have a strange feeling that we still have yet to see just how big this band will get. I expect by this time next year, they will be friggin' huge.

<font size="4" face="Arial">He kinda sounds a little like Robert Smith of The Cure... when he's not doing the "balls in a vice" thing

Yeah, I'll go with that. He also has hints of Luka Bloom in his voice at times.

I thought the same as GAV...with the first album...to me, it was pure ROBERT SMITH vocals.

Well for once I agree with my texan cousin (a rare thing) - I personally can't stand the Darkness

Well one listen is enough BAG OF SHITE, if you liked the first one you'll be disappointed, if you didn't keep well away. Even more high pitch whining but this time it's just blatant rip off (Queen & Thin Lizzy)& what's left is mediocre by numbers. I wasn't a big fan of the first CD but at least it had a couple of half decent tracks (Black shuck,Get Your Hands Off My Woman)but this is dire.........sit back & wait for the reprisals

Damn!! I can't get the song "You're growing on me" out of my head now!! [img]mad.gif[/img]

I suppose it could be worse, it could be "Nena - 99 Red Ballons" [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img]

Growing on me is a song written about the delights of having pubic lice, nice!

3.5/10 - good old heavy metal but not brilliant [img]frown.gif[/img]

"Growing" is a damn fine song, and an example of how they COULD Be a brilliant band if they chose to be. But alas, they choose the route of novelty and gimmick.
