The Darkness have today revealed that work on their forthcoming new record is almost complete.
The band reunited this year and after playing at Download festival, they have been working on their third album, which is now apparently almost complete. In an interview with Total Guitar Magazine lead singer Justin Hawkins commented:
“When you write songs, you need a grounding to set the stories in. There’s a lot about small-town life. The album has songs about stuff that’s happened to us in the town. As for influences, it’s AC/DC, Queen, Aerosmith, et cetera.”
A release date for the album has yet to be announced but by the sound of things, it won’t be too far off. The band will also be touring the UK this Autumn.
The Darkness tour tickets will be available online.
