Darkness dropped?

Gossip-by-email rag Popbitch reported today (without any explanation) that “The Darkness have been dropped”. This seems a bit suss to me as you would have expected them to have had more than a 2-album deal when they signed with Atlantic. Still, after a disappointing second album the label may have got out on a contractual obligations clause. Lead singer Justin (of the mtv: “go away your teeth are wonky” fame) has just checked into the Priory, where he will be joined by Pete Doherty later today for a court-appointed stay. Rock n’ Rehab baby!

    I agree, their second album was really disappointing. It won’t surprise me if they get dropped, but it would be a shame if they did after only two albums. Their first one was brilliant, so if they could make another one like that, then I think they’d do well again.

    Saying that, Justin Hawkins is an arrogant twat and he doesn’t need more reasons to be like that.

    On another note, Popbitch can be rather funny at times.

    Nobody cares about The Darkness anymore. It was new and interesting at the time, bringing back the classic sound but that soon faded. All in all, they should be dropped because a band that’s not doing much and when they do something, it sounds the same.. there’s no money to be made.

    According to the shiny bastion of truth that is the Mirror: “Justin’s been feeling really low of late and he wanted to go somewhere he could clear his head. He’s been looking terrible at the moment. His skin’s taken on a weird yellowy pallor.” Poor lad.
