New Album From The Darkness Almost Complete

The Darkness have almost finished recording their third studio album.  

In an interview with the Toronto Sun, lead singer Justin Hawkins commented "We're in the studio even as we speak ... I think we've got nine of the required songs done or finished, all sounding shiny and good ... It's kind of nearly finished now. I'd like it to be on my birthday really, which is the 17th of March. I think that would be the ultimate gift to myself."

The Darkness haven't released an album since 2005's 'One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back' with the group disbanding the following year.  Concerning the reformation Hawkins added "The thing that was infectious about this was that we didn't care. We weren't doing it to become huge. We weren't doing it because we're ambitious. We're doing it because we are genuinely loving the music ... We're back to Square 1, where it's just music and the creative process ... We have to fight for it. It's gloves-off time and it's time to get your hands dirty. It's time to get in there and change people's idea of what we're doing, so it's going to be hard work and I'm aware of that, and that's what I'm excited about getting my teeth into now. I would sort of approach it more like a sportsman than an artist."
