The Darkness have released their brand new single ‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’, the opening track of their forthcoming album Dreams On Toast out March 28th via Cooking Vinyl.
The Darkness go hell for leather on the new single, channelling the sounds of hard rock legends such as ZZ Top, Motörhead and Judas Priest with searing solos, hell-raising vocals and a fist-pumpin’ rhythm section to create a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the hedonistic, macho music scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
Regarding the single, frontman Justin Hawkins says, “People recognise me as astronaut pirate movie star cool and that’s obviously accurate. What they may have overlooked though, is that I am also ROCK AND ROLL PARTY COWBOY cool… which is a good 15 percent cooler!!! I think you’ll recognise that in the first listen.”
‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’ is the third single to be taken from the forthcoming magnum opus Dreams On Toast and features a visualiser full of imagery shot at their intimate shows at London’s Rough Trade store in December. The track follows the self-deprecating glam punk rock of ‘I Hate Myself’ and jaunty pop genius of ‘The Longest Kiss’, showcasing the diversity and brilliance of the band’s eighth studio album.
