Darkness

Since the early 2000s, classic rock revivalists The Darkness have turned their love for ’70s glam excess and falsetto vocals into UK Top 20 LPs and chart-topping singles.

∙ Permission to Land, the band’s 2003 debut LP, went quadruple-Platinum in the UK on the heels of their international hit “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” ∙ Their 2003 holiday song, “Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End),” rose to No.

2 on the UK charts, thanks to its clever mix of sentimentality and double entendres.
