NEW SINGLE VIDEO PREMIERED ONLINE
Bear with The Darkness for a morality tale for our times
The Darkness announce the details of the first single release from their eagerly awaited third album with an over the top video premiered worldwide on Thursday 28th June 2012. ‘Everybody Have A Good Time’ is a raucous, fists in the air anthem which showcases the band at their classic rock sing-a-long best, and gives a flavour of the tasty new album ‘Hot Cakes’.
The group are famous for their opulent outlandish video’s – who could forget the spaceship in ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’, vocalist Justin Hawkins as a chilly Satan in ‘One Way Ticket to Hell and Back’ and or course the heart-warming festive scenes of ‘Christmas Time’ Don’t Let the Bell’s End. ‘Everybody Have A Good Time’ takes up the baton, and shows The Darkness’ imagination run away with itself and run headlong into the boundaries of good taste, in a fun-filled romp featuring a stripping hairy mammal, live show with added idiots, a machine gun shootout in a story based on the financial crisis which climaxes in a sexy boy meets, er, bear happy ending.
