Permission To Rock

'The Darkness are four men, men's men. Your basic macho, masculine, testosterone driven, muscular, tall, handsome, chiselled, square-jawed, large-chinned men. Three of whom are from Lowestoft. One is Scottish.' - Justin Hawkins

Permission To Rock documents the Darkness' unstoppable rise from their pomp-rock origins to post milliennial, chart-topping, cock-rock superstars. Covering the backgrounds of band members Justin, Dan, Frankie and Ed, the book explores their origins and influences, recounting for the first time the full genesis of this remarkable group.

Now the biggest band in the UK, and poised for similar success stateside, The Darkness are a true phenomenon. Their debut album, Permission To Land went to number one in the charts, was heaped with praise and awards, and propelled the band into the limelight, their natural domain. With their glamorous good looks, devil-may-care image, and a set of finely crafted songs that take classic rock into the 21st century, The Darkness rock.

This book is a must for the legions of Darklings who appreciate the band as torch bearers for good-time rock, in the tradition of bands like Van Halen, Whitesnake and Kiss, plus Slade, Thin Lizzy, and Queen.

Packed with full page photos, and presented in a glossy high quality format, the book shows the Darkness at their most moist and sumptuous, posing, performing and pouting just like the bands whose mantle they have taken up. The Darkness: Permission To Rock is the first book to shed light on The Darkness; the band, who when they finally landed, took straight back off to assume their rightful place among the pantheon of rock gods.
