Santa Claus is coming
to town and the most precious gift he brings you all is the
Christmas single from the biggest band of the year, The Darkness.
"Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells
End)" is released through Must Destroy/Atlantic Records
on December 15th and when you hear it you'll wish it could
be Christmas every day.
Says frontman Justin, 'In honour of the
marvellous support bestowed upon us by the sweet people of
the British Isles, we giveth unto thee the gift that keeps
on giving. It might be a Christmas song but it still rocks
in the unique Darkness fashion.
'Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)
is not an anthem for gluttony, consumerism or bloated, flatulent
post-dinner snoozing. It is an acknowledgement that 'tis the
season, which affords us a greater tolerance and brings folk
together'.
2003 has undoubtedly been the year of The
Darkness and it is safe to say they are walking in the air.
Their number one album, 'Permission To Land' sat at the top
of the charts for 4 weeks this summer, has gone triple platinum
in the UK and has sold over a million worldwide.
After a short international jaunt, seeing
them make massive waves in the US and Japan, the band are
driving home for Christmas to play the already sold out 'Elf
Hazard' tour (dates below).
In 2004 they are back out internationally
to feed the world taking in Australia and Europe before returning
to the US.
The Darkness wish you all a Rock N' Roll
Christmas!!
