THE DARKNESS has released their expletive-drenched new single SOLID GOLD, accompanied by a video of the self-proclaimed rock legends performing in a huge aircraft hangar amongst a mass of glam-rock lighting and Marshall speaker stacks.

 
 

Frontman Justin Hawkins announces, “We have written this song to reassure you all that we have no intention whatsoever of stopping. Hence the lyric “We’re never gonna stop… Shitting out solid gold”. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, The Darkness will always be here to delight and beguile. You’re welcome.”

An absolute monster of a rock song, Solid Gold takes no prisoners whatsoever, taking direct aim at the music industry and addressing record companies, egos and the insincerity that comes with it. It is the latest single to be taken from The Darkness’ forthcoming album Pinewood Smile, out October 6 through Cooking Vinyl. PRE-ORDER PINEWOOD SMILE HERE
