Product Description
Product Description
The Darkness have ascended rapidly into the top rank of the music and media scene and have got everyone talking, from the "Sun" and the "Telegraph", high-end music magazines such as "Q" and "Bang!" to ultra-hip magazines such as "Dazed and Confused". Their fans include teenagers, older serious rock-music fans and high-spending late-twenty-somethings nostalgic for the guitar-rock of their youth. This title details the band's early days as gigging musicians right through to their trajectory towards superstardom and critical acclaim and their experiences "breaking" America, illustrated throughout with shots of this hard-rocking, technicolour band.
From the Author
This being an unofficial book (that subtitle is a dead giveaway), I knew I had to run the extra mile, in order to make it well worth a Darkling's hard-earned/stolen cash. Let's face it: most unofficial books are nothing more than cobbled together magazine articles that you've already absorbed. So I conducted in-depth interviews with around 15 people during the long writing process, including two of lead singer Justin Hawkins' best friends (with his blessing), his tutor Rick Cocker at Huddersfield Technical College and London gig promoters who believed in the band early on. Because of these added perspectives, plus the fact that I'm from the band's hometown Lowestoft myself (went to the same high school, drank in the same pubs), I feel that I've been able to tell The Darkness' story in a way you won't have read elsewhere. I'm also very pleased with the way the book has physically turned out - it's a quality hardback offering, slathered with the finest colour pictures. Hope you give it the thumbs-up...
