Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

Artwork new album

British glam rockers THE DARKNESS, fronted by big mouth Justin Hawkins
topped the UK Charts with their debut album Permission To Land back in
2003. Talking about a spectacular start.

They confirmed their star status with 2 other hit LPs, but totally unexpected Hawkins
left the band in 2006 to pursue other musical projects that went down without success.
So Hawkins re-grouped The Darkness and they got very productive with 5 longplayers and several tours.

They now have canned another longplayer which
will make their fans very happy next year.

Its new single I HATE MYSELF is most likely written by Hawkins with One Direction‘s
star Liam Payne in mind who he called “a fucking muppet” not long before Payne took
his own life after falling from the hotel roof in Argentina, last October.

Hawkins defended himself recently : “I didn’t see that Liam situation coming. I mean, I didn’t pay enough attention to his career to recognize that there were signs of mental instability. I just thought it was somebody who wasn’t coping with fame or was trying to big themselves up or come across as something that was a little bit inauthentic, and that’s what I was highlighting, really. There’s videos of just about every artist in the world who hits a low ebb or on a bad day where they get interviewed and they make themselves seem like pricks. There just seems to be more of them of Liam at my disposal for that particular episode.”

Well, Hawkins, you know what a fucking muppet is about,
you are one for years now. But it’s okay to show regrets
about what you said, with a song.
