The Darkness - Last of Our Kind

Review by Andy McDonald

A Darkness album to be proud of»

Buy now from:

The Darkness return with their fourth album 'Last Of Our Kind', produced by guitarist Dan Hawkins. It is the first album to feature new drummer Emily Dolan Davies. She replaces original drummer Ed Graham who departed in mysterious circumstances. Having been drumming since 1999, Emily has played with everybody from the likes of Bono, Bryan Ferry and Tricky. 'Last of Our Kind' is the meaty and impassioned follow-up to 2012's 'Hot Cakes' which saw the band reunited having enjoyed a well-publicized and well-deserved hiatus. As distinguished guests of Def Leppard, The Darkness destroyed Download Festival in 2011, then waved goodbye to their loved ones and toured planet Earth for over 18 months.
