The Darkness: Permission to Rock! : The Unofficial Book

by Jason Arnopp

The Darkness have ascended rapidly into the top rank of the music and media scene and have got everyone talking, from Rolling Stone, Blender, Spin, and MTV to David Letterman. Their many fans include teenagers, older serious rock-music fans and high-spending late-twenty-somethings, nostalgic for the guitar-rock of their youth. The Permission to Rock! details the band's early days as gigging musicians right through to their current trajectory towards superstardom and huge critical acclaim and their experiences 'breaking' America, illustrated throughout with fantastic shots of this hard-rocking, technicolor band.
