The Darkness have left fans guessing after unveiling what looks to be the new cover artwork for their eagerly awaited third album, 'Hot Cakes'. The artwork surfaced on the band's official Facebook page earlier this evening with the message: "Fancy a look at our 'Hot Cakes'?"
‘Hot Cakes’ is out 20th August on PIAS, same day as lead single 'Everybody Have A Good Time'. The Darkness unveiled the music video for the single earlier this week and, as you can expect, the over-the-top video is another raucous, fists in the air anthem which showcases the band at their classic rock sing-a-long best.
The Darkness are famous for their opulent outlandish video’s – who could forget the spaceship in ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’, vocalist Justin Hawkins as a chilly Satan in ‘One Way Ticket to Hell and Back’ and or course the heart-warming festive scenes of ‘Christmas Time’ Don’t Let the Bell’s End.
‘Everybody Have A Good Time’ takes up the baton, and shows The Darkness’ imagination run away with itself, headlong into the boundaries of good taste in a fun-filled romp featuring a stripping hairy mammal, live show with added idiots, a machine gun shootout in a story based on the financial crisis which climaxes in a sexy boy meets, er, bear happy ending.
The Darkness just played a triumphant set last weekend at the Isle of Wight Festival and will play T in the Park in July and their own headline show at Thetford Forrest on 14th July. After several European festivals and shows the band join Lady Gaga on her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour. Click Here to Compare & Buy Lady Gaga Tickets.
