British Whale is performed, recorded and produced entirely by Justin Hawkins of The Darkness. It is music made with no compromises and will slap people on the back of the head with its pure unsullied silliness. Anyone that doesn't like it has a smelly bum.

yes dear, i knew that bit. it's a darkness in joke. the point of british whale is for justin to be silly, and to do the things that sensible brother dan won't have in his band...

it's very non-PC, bit of hun bashing going on apparently. notheard full lyrics yet.

scotty SAID teh darkness would be better foing the world cup song than embrace, and lo and behold.

sisters one night, justin the next. *sigh* happy emily...

personally I'd rather hear a Prof Stephen Hawking world cup song,He has the better voice and is less of a spacca than that twit out of the Darkness.

I have to say that I have never seen the appeal in Justin and the Darkness. Bads songs, played badly, sung badly (or did i just miss the joke???).

There are very few bands that make me change tv or radio channels when they come on, but they are one!

I saw them at donington a few years back when they played the main stage at the Download festival and we genuinely thought they were a 'spoof' band, thrown onto the main stage for a laugh! I didnt think for a moment they could be a 'proper' band!

and I had thought we had seem the worst of them until the criminal cover of 'this town aint big enough for the both us' and now I dread what he may inflict on the poor listening public next!

still thats just my opinon

would be a dull old place if we all liked the same thing

Still not as bad as The Scorpions.
I saw them at Donnington in 1986 and they followed "Bad News".I went for a p*ss and a pint toward the end of "Bad news",when I came back "The Scorpions had come on and I seriously thought it was still "Bad news"!

What makes you think that?I think he's pretty generous giving it 1/10.
And how can you have a one way ticket to hell and back anyway?

Surely it should be a RETURN ticket to hell.

I think that was the (lame) joke

and The Scorpions had some fine tunes : Another Piece of Meat; The Zoo; Steam Rock Fever; The Wind of Change

the last one was a joke

or maybe a travelcard to hell.
or an away day saver.

or perhaps......just perhaps.....maybe he went here
