Hot Cakes

The Darkness

High-octane twin-guitar heroics and soaring falsettos. A theatrical, unashamedly fun revival of 70s stadium rock that refuses to take itself seriously.

Unapologetically exuberant and theatrical with a heavy dose of guitar-driven joy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the heavy, galloping metal riff during the unexpected cover of Radiohead's Street Spirit.
The sheer audacity of the opening line in Every Inch of You delivered with maximum vocal conviction.
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of Nothin's Gonna Stop Us into pure pop bliss.
