  Ok so perhaps I'm a bit out of the loop, but I've only just heard about urlLink The Darkness . Hmm, just did a Google and every single website says they're "England's most talked about band". Hey, I'm in Australia, it takes a while for news to travel, OK? Anyway what is the deal with these guys? Oh wait..that's not them, that's the band I'm booking for gran's birthday next month. (I just think they look so DYNAMIC!
They can rock out even when they're having an epileptic fit. THAT is professionalism, folks. ) Hang on... Have I entered a time warp? What year is this? What's my name? Does electro even exist anymore? ("Yeah, we've got a moog..." "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! ") The big hair! The tight pants! The stadium-sized rock-ballads! It's like Spinal Tap never went away! These guys are certainly rockin' it 70s style, and I'm finding myself strangely both drawn to and repelled by their high-pitched warbling, hair flicking and pelvis-thrusting. There is something a bit sexy about a man with tight pants and big hair, but then again, it's hard to get too excited about a guy who looks better in satin and uses more hair product than you.
Is late 70s prog rock making a comeback? Will there be a sharp increase in purchases of polyester bodyshirts (outside of India)? Will men grow their hair long and curly, in attempts to look like Robert Plant (but end up more like Michael Bolton pre-chop)? SHOULDN'T WE BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS DISTURBING TREND?
