    I wasn't as big on the 2nd album either. They are working on a new album right now and have been playing a few of the songs live. I haven't heard them yet. Anyone else goin' to any Darkness shows?

    I liked that 2nd album.

    The band is a loud and proud 'throwback' band. I cannot express enough how quickly my jogging pace picks up when I have a Darkness tune going through my headphones. Big loud guitars. Nice.

    Great band. I love everything about them and have been a fan since Permission To Land was released here in the States. I'd love to see them if I get the chance.

    What do we think? I'll blindly jump in a say its okay. Not as raw as some of their best songs, but reasonable.

    Saw these guys last night at the Commodore. Excellent show. Really excellent.

    I realize they are not Pink Floyd or Tool... but simple, loud, catchy tunes in the mold of a 'poppy ACDC' that really work for me. Justin Hawkins is a superstar- seriously.

    Foxy Shazam opened. Interesting to say the least. Bizarre. Very entertaining though.
