The Darkness Punches New 'Ticket'

By Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

British rock act the Darkness has christened its new album "One Way Ticket To Hell ... and Back." The set is due Nov. 28 in the United Kingdom via Must Destroy/Atlantic and a day later in North America. First single "One Way Ticket" will be released commercially Nov. 14 in the United Kingdom.

The album is the follow-up to the Darkness' multi-platinum 2003 debut "Permission To Land" (Must Destroy/Atlantic), which has sold more than 680,000 units in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

As previously reported, the group recorded the new set without bassist Frankie Poullain, who exited earlier this year. Guitarist Dan Hawkins played bass in the studio; since then, Richie Edwards has joined as Poullain's replacement.

The Darkness is expected to tour in support of "One Way Ticket" but dates have yet to be announced.

The Darkness Keeps Rocking On New CD

By Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

U.K. rock act the Darkness has nailed down the track list for its second album, "One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back." As previously reported, the set is Nov. 28 in the United Kingdom via Must Destroy/Atlantic and the next day in North America. The single "One Way Ticket" was premiered yesterday (Oct. 3) on U.K. radio outlets and is also streaming on the band's Myspace.com page.

Very much in the vein of the Darkness' breakthrough single "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," the track crams in everything from cowbell, heavily layered backing vocals, acoustic guitar, piano and straight-from-the-'70s studio effects to singer Justin Hawkins' trademark falsetto and Meat Loaf-worthy theatrics.

"One Way Ticket" will be released commercially Nov. 14 in the United Kingdom. It is already available as a ringtone via the band's Web site.

Here is the track list for "One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back":

"One Way Ticket"
"Knockers"
"Is It Just Me?"
"Dinner Lady Arms"
"Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time"
"Hazel Eyes"
"Bald"
"Girlfriend"
"English Country Garden"
"Blind Man"

I'm listening to the new Darkness album right now. Sounds more like conventional hard rock than the last one. I'll bet that singer guy's balls were cut off like Jacko--a few months after birth.

It has its moments. For someone starved for some good modern music, it ain't too bad. It has no resemblance to nu-metal, hip-hop, or hop-on-pop.

No, its not in stores, I have my sources.

Last night I was driving around and had a CD on by a rocking little combo called the Darkness. It was called "One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back" and it was quite the rocking disc.

I like the Darkness!
