It appears that the long-rumored reunion of The Darkness is getting into swing with the launch of a website, a Facebook page and a rapidly-circulating fan-made trailer video on YouTube.
The website, TheActualDarkness.com, launched recently with the semi-cryptic message “The Darkness >> As Promised” across the top of the site, along with a link to the band’s Facebook page, an e-mail subscription field and a button to post about the site on Twitter. The site’s meta data lists the names of band members Justin Hawkins, Dan Hawkins, Ed Graham and Frankie Poullain (as opposed to his 2005 replacement Richie Edwards) as keywords. Meanwhile a fan-made trailer for the reunion is being passed around online by excited fans (and mistaken for an official video by more than a few online forumites).
The Darkness called it quits in 2006, with singer Justin Hawkins moving on to Hot Leg, and the remaining band members forming The Stone Gods (with longtime friend Toby MacFarlaine on bass).
