Motorheart

Drop the needle anywhere on The Darkness' Motorheart and be instantly transported from this moaning and weeping vale of tears to Elysian fields of rock where all hands are raised, the drinks - just as in the Club Tropicana of yore - are free, and everyone wears a pleasingly salacious grin. Does it rock? Is the sun hot? Has your partner's touch grown cold? The Darkness are the Orwellian boot stamping on the flaccid face of limp rock, forever! Motorheart brims with the UK glam rock giants' trademark blazing guitar riffs and solos, soaring falsetto, and immeasurable rock 'n' roll extravagance. Regarding the title track single, Justin Hawkins says, "'Motorheart' rocks harder than anything we've done before. It makes me happy and proud to crank it up and literally shake my Swiss chalet to its foundations. Dan did an awesome job on the production; it'll take your face off, but your skull will be grinning from meatus to meatus."
