the darkness

  • law and orderDon’t judge a book by its cover or a band by its promo shot. They might look like wholefood bearded hipsters in their publicity materrial but even less than a considered listen to their third album “Law And Order” reveals there’s a quirky glam-pop heart beating within.

    Ulysses hails from Bath in the middle of England’s West. Now, putting to one side generic Australian jokes that we love so much about Poms and soap, these blokes have been soaking in a tub of diverse influences. The bio cites The Cars, Thin Lizzy (especially), Alvin Stardust (check the label name - ha!), Hot Chocolate (huh?) and Supergrass (of course) but that’s just a start. You could toss in Alice Cooper, The Sweet, The Glitter Band - and a few dozen others.

    TOP TEN ALBUMS

     Cheap Trick – "In Another World" 
    The masters of hard rock power-pop return with another banger. What year is this? How is it possible these guys are still so good? 

    The Wildhearts – "21st Century Love Songs"
    Ginger     is one of my favorite songwriters and this Wildhearts album is a ferocious reminder that he is still at the peak of his powers.

    The Darkness – "Motorheart"
    My favorite Darkness album since their debut, this one has swagger, hooks, and lots of blistering guitar riffs!
