“Their pomp and preposterousness remain a tonic” – Mojo
“This is brilliant… rock dreams are made of this” – Fireworks
“All hail the return of The Darkness” – HRH Magazine
“Delves into 70s country rock, grandiose Supertramp-style AOR and laugh-out-loud send-ups of 90s hard-rock cliches… Fine stuff” – Guitarist
“The Darkness remain steadfastly committed to hell-for-leather maximalism… embracing rock’s inherent ridiculousness with characteristic enthusiasm” – Dork

The Darkness have released their stunning new album Dreams On Toast via Cooking Vinyl. Already receiving some of the greatest praise of their career, the album lands as the band’s huge UK headline tour plays to packed-out venues and ecstatic reviews. Stream or purchase the album HERE.
The singles released to date have received high praise amongst fans and critics. Launching the album with The Longest Kiss – a soaring rock anthem that blends the band’s signature flamboyance with an irresistible melody. Packed with towering riffs and an infectious chorus, it’s a love song with an epic, theatrical edge—classic Darkness through and through. On the other end of the spectrum is I Hate Myself – one of the most emotionally charged moments on the album. A heart-on-sleeve reflection wrapped in anthemic rock, it balances vulnerability with power, proving that The Darkness can deliver both high-energy bangers and deeply personal, resonant tracks.
Produced by Dan Hawkins, Dreams On Toast flawlessly captures The Darkness at their peak, celebrating their influences and strengthening their sound, while also embarking on avenues never before heard from the band. It’s an indisputably grand display from the inspired and passionate quartet.
Destined to further cement The Darkness as one of Britain’s most important, eclectic and courageous rock bands, Dreams On Toast finds Justin, Dan, Frankie and Rufus continuing to push boundaries. Over two decades deep into their multi-platinum, award-winning career, they offer up unexpected surprises to bedazzle and amaze fans once again in 2025.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
