Remembering The Darkness

Don't worry, I haven't gone Emo...

Yesterday I went on a road trip with my parents and Gus The Turkey through Kent and into Sussex. My Dad has a weeks holiday off of work and we're taking the opportunity to go on days out. We visited Hythe, Camber Sands, Rye and Hastings.



Whenever I go on long car journeys I like to take my ipod to listen too. On the way back to Essex we got stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam trying to get back to Dartfort Tunnel, so I popped on my ipod and thought I'd have a listen to something different. I came across my old favourite band - The Darkness. I haven't listened to them in ages. It was so nice to listen again!


I first got it The Darkness in 2003 when they released Growing On Me...



... and I was immediately hooked. I now own every single album and single they ever released, including the famous (and expensive) I Believe In A Thing Called Love EP from 2002.


I went on to see them 5 times, and even met them once in Liverpool. They were very nice! And tall! I also became the admin of the Ed Graham forum and made loads of TD friends. On many forums to this day I am known as Darkling Sarah instead of EssHaych lol!

*Warning - The following video contains swearing and crown participation*



They ultimatley spit up. I was devistated, as was my brother who was also a massive fan, and the one that got me into them in the first place. But good news - he heard that they are planning a return! Yay! It's only a rumor, but I hope it's true - I'd love to go and see them again.


So that's a little bit about my fav band. I hope you enjoyed the videos... aaahhhh the memories! :')

  1. OH. MAN. This brings back so many memories of photo class in high school. My teacher played "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" over and over again all the time.
