The Darkness are a retro-rock band from England. Besides their current hit, 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love', they also had success with 'Growing On Me'.
They are positively 'old-school' rock and by that I mean AC\DC, ZZ Top etc. They are the subject of some quite heavy hype in the UK at present.
Now, whilst they are a breath of fresh air in todays 'nu-metal' obssessed rock scene, they are not quite the revolution the media would have you think.
Yes, they're fun and very tongue in cheek - but they ain't doing anything that Queen, AC\DC and other bands of that ilk/era weren't doing 20+ years ago.
That being said they are quite catchy and the album 'Permission To Land' is worth a listen. It's cheesy but fun music with no pretensions.
But of course, this is all just my humble opinion.
