Justin Hawkins was on the Masked Singer to remind everyone he was alive, and now his band The Darkness are releasing their seventh album. 

 

Called Motorheart, it’ll be out October 15h on Cooking Vinyl. There will be support via a tour happening in the winter. Pre-ordering the LP will allow you to buy pre-sale tickets. 

 

But this is a Darkness story, so there’s got to be some silliness. Here it is, in a band statement: “The time has come, the walrus said…to put your fookin pants on your head and rock like Satan is eating your private parts with a pointy fork! Yes, we, The Darkness, are the fuck back on tour, praise Satan’s better half…come and party with us like it’s the last orders at the last chance saloon… Which it may well be, but I wouldn’t like to comment any further on that. Get in kids, it’s the Darkness, wot you knows and luvs, plus British Lion – Steve Harris’ top rock band who are guaranteed to blow your socks straight up your welcoming arses. What a night! Delirium! Outfits, including hats! Denim that smells of hamsters! Who doesn’t want that? See you down the front, connoisseurs of the finest that life has to offer…”
