The Darkness Announce March Irish Tour Ahead Of New Album
Monday, 23 February 2015
Written by Laura Johnson
The Darkness will play 11 shows on their tour of Ireland in March.
The tour is in support of the band's fourth album, ‘Last Of Our Kind', which was written in Ireland. It will be released June 1 with Kobalt Label Services and is the first record to feature new drummer Emily Dolan Davies. She replaces Ed Graham, who the band suggest departed in mysterious circumstances.
The first track to be taken from 'Last Of Our Kind' is Barbarian. Discussing it, frontman Justin Hawkins said it had:
"...not one but two dramatic monologues, a guitar solo that has been declared 'irresponsible', a riff that weakens lady-knees and a chorus that makes grown men shit directly into their pants. The lyrics describe the Viking invasion of East Anglia which culminated in the decapitation of Edmund the Martyr. So yeah, classic Darkness.”
