THE DARKNESS DROPPED BY RECORD LABEL
British rockers THE DARKNESS have been dropped by their record label in the wake of frontman JUSTIN HAWKINS' departure. The I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE star has been clean of cocaine and alcohol for nine weeks after going into rehab in August (06), and decided he just can't live the rock 'n' roll lifestyle any more. Hawkins' former bandmates - including his guitarist brother DAN - plan to continue without him, despite poor sales of second album ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL AND BACK. But Atlantic Records executives have now ditched the depleted Darkness.
It doesn't help the matter when your second album only sells 91,000 in the USA.
With no promotion whatsoever. No music videos were ever shown here from the OTTH .. AB album

The Darkness rules, i love how they have lots of solos and especially loved justin hawkin's voice but now he is gone
. Hopefully their next album is good and maybe they can pull off an AC/DC.

I'm afraid their time is done...the odds are certainly against them with Justin gone.

Justin said he will return, once he feels the time is right
my guess is they'll go on hiatus until that time comes

I liked the band but not Justin's voice. I'd definately welcome a different singer. Definately!

And I can't see them surviving with another lead singer. A lot of the novelty and appeal of the band came from Justin.
Just my opinion, of course.

I like them..but I can't imagine The Darkness with another singer?
... I think they are cool also for Justin voice and his funny and crazy presence and personality..

He had a good personality but Bazgnr hit the nail on the head with the word "novelty". That's all they were, but they had the potential to be a very good rock band anyway. Justin's horrible voice stopped them from becoming that.
Dan is a very good guitarist and they could definately pull off a comeback if they got a really good singer. It'd be cool if Justin could come back just as a guitarist but that's really, really unlikely.

Justin's voice is what made the Darkness good, honestly they would have to have a pretty good singer to be able to sound good singing I believe in a thing called love or just about any of their songs.

doubtful, with the Darkness being a real rock band I doubt they would even give a thought to going on that show.

I thought I read that the new bassist woud be doing lead vocals. Again, I can't imagine the band continuing...best of luck to them, but I won't be around for it. It's like...Guns 'n Roses without Axl (and I mean that in terms of having a unique voice as the "face" of the band, not in terms of impact, artistic merit, etc.).

I'll still like the Darkness, but it won't be the same if Justin doesn't come back. Theres nothng that is completely set in stone yet, so al we can do is wait and see.

i just do not understand how they don't have great sales in the US. this band should easily have gone atleast double platinum on each of their records. i know they are a lot bigger in the UK, just like the tea party was really big in Canada and not in the US. its a shame that north america is so f'd up.

PTL sold really well in America, but the band didn't tour to promote it after they made it big - they only had a small club tour before it was released
OWTTHAB sold badly in America due to no promotion or airplay on the radio or MTV. Due to these bad sales the record company pulled the plug on a 2006 US tour. Which is retarded, since its the record company's fault it didn't sell in the first place.

Hey, I totally loved "Permission to Land," but "One Way Ticket" just couldn't compare...

I agree One Way Ticket is a great album, so many great songs. The Darkness wanted their debut album to be like One Way Ticket, but pressures from the record company, and time constraints, caused them to make what would become PTL.
