When The Darkness announced they were “back” during the first half of the year, we were excited. When they continued to be “back” in the Special Guest slot before Def Leppard at this year’s Download Festival, we continued to be excited. We’re still a little bit excited that they are continuing to be “back” now it’s November time, and they’ve gotten round to having a full UK tour. It’s why we sent Matt Thomas and his camera along to the opening night in Liverpool, obviously.

See? If there’s one thing we can all take away with us after looking at Matt’s lovely photos, it’s the safety in knowledge that The Darkness are still very definitely “back”. That and the crushing desire it sparks in us to make us want to watch that interview with Justin Hawkins and Frankie Poullain that Raz did while he still had a pair of dicks painted on his face.
