Easter is cancelled

""Easter is Cancelled" is a great addition to The Darkness' catalogue, and while it won't change the naysayers' opinion about this band, it's definitely going to please the die-hard fans. Just like all of their albums, this one is full of songs that will grow and expand exponentially when played live. The masters of flamboyance are back, with loose morals, tight pants and existential questioning thrown in for good measure".

"Even though they start out with proclamations that "rock and roll deserves to die," by the time the brisk set is through, they're heralding its triumphant resurrection with cries of "long live rock and roll!" Easter Is Cancelled is a soaring and melodic evolution for the Darkness, a fresh step into maturation that retains their campy, fun-loving spirit without all the sleaze and filth".

"True to form, Easter Is Cancelled, the band's 10-track sixth album, is a conceptual record with tongue firmly in cheek. It's designed to be listened to from start to finish: each song telling a self-contained story that's also part of the album's whole ... The record is experimental but solidified by mature musical arrangement - and fans will love its two fingers up to convention".
