I saw The Darkness play and it was THE BEST ROCK CONCERT! Great voice, great constumes, great songs and of course great band. Justins lightning bolt guitar with his name on it was pretty damn awsome too. Would really hope to see them play again.. and if anyone ever gets the chance to see them play live, for your own sake don't miss it!
Hayley Australia

THe Darkness are awsome to bad justin left the darkness but i bet he will have a good solo carrer and the darkness who will have a new name!
Stefan Payne, Wales

We rocked with the best rockers in rock. And admired the handsome tiger. Big Thumbs!
Shell & Dee Dee

The best band ever to come out of Lowestoft have been missed for years, its the Buster James Band.
Barry, Lowestoft

Wentto Leeds, the boys did good! Awesome guitar licks, singalongs and new stuff (and fireworks) and loads of costume changes. Rock on!!!
Angie, Nottingham

Kim Day

The Darkness is the best bad eva! Justin and Dan are HOT!!!! Too bad the rest of Australia hates them. They're not even in the top 40, which is ridiculous. They should be number 1!!! C'mon peoples, buy their cd's!!! I LOVE THE DARKNESS!!!
Roz, Australia

Whoohoo!! THe Darkness are rock gods!!!!
Megan, New Zealand

We saw The Darkness at Cardiff Uni on 5th Oct 2004 and at the Elysee Montmartre, Paris, 2nd March 2004. Thank you boys for saving the day. Here's a band that have done their apprenticeship and are now reaping the rewards of 4 years hard slog. Words cannot express the excitement of seeing them live. No other band can touch these guys right now.
Sharon and Simon Rogers, Newport, Gwent

The gig in Stockholm was amazing, awesome. I love The Darkness! Too bad Dan is taken though... He's so hot...
Rebecka, Sweden

Caught the band live on 22/1/04 at The Gaelic Club - Sydney. I was left with a huge grin on my face for days. They are so refreshing. All my (muso) mates are now converts. Please get back to Oz a.s.a.p. (and play a bigger venue next time)!! Dont worry tix sales will be there to warrant a larger venue!
Paul - Sydney, Australia

I think the Darkness are the saviour of todays music scene. Without them all the performances, lyrics and every thing really would be sad, now their here everything is fun and exiting. They have put the zest into a pretty dull music scene.
Emily, Whitby, North Yorkshire

The Darkness totally rock they are absolute legends, their songs are just fantastic. i cant wait to see them in paris
Garlick, Romford

What can I say, The Darkness are awesome, I've only said it 50 thousand times already but here in the statespeople don't understand that, which is sad, because they don't know what they are missing, another British band is at the top of the rock world, sound familiar? Anyway the guys are great they sound great and I had the chance to catch them at one of their shows here and what else could it be but excellent!!
Sergio, NYC, USA

THE DARKNESS R FAB!
Sammy, suffolk

I saw the Darkness at Great Yarmouth and they were fantastic. Justin is a real showman and the whole band seemed to be pleased to be (almost) back home. I hope they don't forget their Suffolk roots if they really hit the big time. It was good to see a proper band, who can play an instrument, know how to harmonise, and put on a good show.
Kate, Wickham Market

The darkness are great
