Nice description Billy... I think the album is great fun too, and the
interviews with the band are hiliarious... One they described themselves
as the gay ac/dc or the straight Queen... Best think about the band is
they will influence other bands, lighten things up a bit, and maybe
we'll have a lot of fun glammish pop and rock and roll to listen to over
the next couple of years as a result.
A couple of quotes from thedarknessrock.com website:
"I've managed to force a lot of my eighties rock ideals on to the rest
of the band," explains Justin, "which really helps when you're trying to
fit three solos into one song! It's what sets us apart really. Soloing
makes your balls feel bigger, doesn't it?"
"When you listen to the record, it gives off the same sort of feeling as
sharing a tent In the Amazon with Brian Eno," says Justin
