The Darkness

In 2003, when droves of new bands were stripping down their sound as part of the widespread garage-rock revival, idiosyncratic British band the Darkness headed in the opposite direction. Their campy, larger-than-life approach was deeply indebted to '70s glam and arena rock, full of wailing guitar solos, helium vocals, and generous doses of swagger, bombast, and revealing tights. Their debut album, PERMISSION TO LAND, was a monstrous hit in their native country, and shortly thereafter became popular in the US as well.
