Multi-award winning multi-million selling megaband The Darkness, formed in 2000 by The Brothers Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and (now departed) Ed Graham, have had good years and bad. And some years where they didn't actually do anything. This year will be a good'un, because The Darkness, (with new drummer Emily Dolan Davies) are back with their brand new fourth album, 'Last of Our Kind!'

To bring 'The Last of Our Kind' to life, the band decamped to the craggy paradise that is Valentia Island in Ireland, which had a certain kinda magic for the band - songs came, riffs grew, creative juices flowed.

Lead singer Justin Hawkins describes the album humbly, "'Last of Our Kind' is a collection of 10 magnificent songs that The Darkness are extremely proud of. It is the best rock album you will hear this year. It is the best rock album you will hear until next time The Darkness makes an album."
