The Darkness - Easter Is Cancelled

Easter Is Cancelled is the sixth studio album by British rock band The Darkness, released in October 2019 via Canary Dwarf and Cooking Vinyl.

The Darkness have released their jaw-droppingly ambitious quasi-sci-fi concept album Easter Is Cancelled; the sixth studio album from the English rock band who formed in 2000, and the first since 2017’s Pinewood Smile.

Easter Is Cancelled is the band’s first concept record about “man’s brutality to man, the dichotomies that we live within and the alternate realities that exist alongside our blinkered comprehension of the Universe. The song cycle defines human existence through a parable – the slow lingering death and eventual glorious re-birth of rock n roll.”

The Darkness in their mission to take back control from the fools and liars who purport to lead us, and instead march forwards into the sunlit uplands of inclusivity, togetherness and rock’n’roll fellowship.

Members of the band that recorded this album were:

• Justin Hawkins – vocals, guitars, piano
• Dan Hawkins – guitars, backing vocals
• Frankie Poullain – bass, backing vocals
• Rufus Tiger Taylor – drums, backing vocals

This album is on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code, pressed in Europe via Cooking Vinyl.
