Sometime in 2003 I was watching Vh1, and I was introduced to the "I believe in a thing called love" music video by The Darkness and remember thinking how there was no way that it was a recent song. I mean, considering all the regurgitated grunge that was floating around, and the whiny new emo music that had been coming out.
Long story short I became a fan, unfortunately never getting a chance to see them live. After they disbanded in 2006, to most of their fans it seemed like Rock n' Roll had lost it's second wind.
However that is not the case. Former Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has formed a new band entitled Hot Leg (yes, a singular leg) with Pete Rinaldi (Lead Guitar), Samuel SJ Stokes (Bass), and Darby Todd (Drums). Their first single, Trojan Guitar, contains a mix of vocal and guitar harmonies that are seldom heard from more recent acts.
