In celebration of their new record, ‘Dreams on Toast’, which is due for release March 28th via Cooking Vinyl, rock and roll legends The Darkness release their fourth single ‘Walking Through Fire’ - and it’s a rip-roaring triumph from start to finish. A brilliant showcase of the band’s unwavering dedication to the true spirit of rock and roll, the track is laced with their signature tongue-in-cheek humour in quintessential Darkness style.
Unapologetically brash and undeniably British, ‘Walking Through Fire’ serves as a testament to the band's formidable catalogue. It channels an unfiltered rock spirit, fuelled by an unrelenting attitude that refuses to be tamed. The track ignites with searing signature riffs, rolling rhythms, and thundering hooks - a perfect dose of anthemic arena rock sounds that boasts undeniable stadium potential.
From the very first note, ‘Walking Through Fire’ delivers non-stop foot-tapping energy, compelling even the most reluctant listener to unleash a cracking air guitar move. Capturing those heavyweight rock sounds, ‘Walking Through Fire’ promises to ignite speakers and guarantee singalongs after just one listen - proving once again why The Darkness remain one of the most unapologetically entertaining bands in rock and roll.
Vocalist Justin Hawkins says of the single: “The life of an artist is gruelling endeavour, leavened with rare moments of shining success. We wade through sweet treacle every day, to make things for others to love. For we chosen few, this is akin to climbing a mountain for the glorious view, whilst studiously avoiding looking at the discarded condom that has attached itself to our stylish yet practical hiking footwear. To rephrase in less oblique tones, nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and that is why we, The Darkness, are WALKING THROUGH FIRE… thinking of you.”
The Darkness head out on an extensive UK and European tour in celebration of Dreams on Toast starting this March, hitting venues such as Bristol’s Beacon Theatre, Manchester’s O2 Apollo, London’s OVO Wembley Arena, and of course Swansea’s Arena - a show we’re very much looking forward to! The tour sees the band visiting Wales for the first time since their support run with Black Stone Cherry in 2023.
