8. Forbidden Love

11. Love Is Not The Answer
On the subject of the album, vocalist and guitarist Justin Hawkins commented: "’Hot Cakes’ has a nice raw feel to it like the first album had, with occasional luxurious moments akin to the second. We're proud of the songs and we can't wait for people to hear them. We've been playing some tracks for the album in tour, each time we play a new song it feels like a deep powerful thrust in a frenzied love ritual between us and our fans. August 20th really will be a sweet release for all concerned.
We included the Radiohead cover because it has been a live favourite for many moons, and we wanted to release a definitive recording of our interpretation.
Best of all, ‘Hot Cakes’ has got even more songs on it than what ‘Permission To Land’ and ‘One Way Ticket To Hell And Back had’. But not if you put them both together."
The album is released on 20th August. The band reformed last year and made their comeback with some club shows and a spectacular show at the Download Festival in front of 70,000 fans. Sold out tours of the UK, US and Australia followed before putting the final touches to the album which was produced by Justin and Dan Hawkins along with their long-time collaborator, Nick Brine and mixed by Bob Ezrin.
The band start their summer festival season with a show in Trondheim, Norway this Saturday 2nd June. At present, The Darkness' only UK headline show for 2012 is their outdoor 'hometown' event in Thetford Forest, Suffolk on 14th July (with special guests Black Stone Cherry). The band will then head across Europe and the UK as special guests of Lady Gaga on her 'Born This Way Ball' tour.
