not to mention the fact that i read on CNN that Darkness singer Justin Hawkins was in rehab already And the fact that it mentions the first release sold over 700,000 and the
new release is just shy of 94,000!! Yow!

no, but it just goes to show yet again how the power of hype and being relatively unique amongst other products can help sales....
but i will say I did see them on the first US tour here in Boston and openers The Wildhearts almost put them away!
here's a thread-any opening bands that totally blew away the headliners? I remember seeing the True Beleivers from Austin open for Guadalcanal Diary at the Paradise here in Boston 'round 1986 and completely destroyed.....enough so that the singer from GD said something to the effect of "how do we follow that?"
