SaMmYPat Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) For those of you that did like The Darkness, the remaining members have formed a new hard rock/metal band known as 'Stone Gods'.They are without charismatic frontman Justin Hawkins, who departed in 2006. They are much more serious, heavier and are the band you have been waitng for...Have supported Thin Lizzy, Velvet Revolver and are about to embark on a UK Tour with Airbourne- They have also had two of their own UK tours.The line-up is:Richie Edwards- Lead Vocals, Ryhtm GuitarDan Hawkins- Lead Guitar, Backup VocalsToby Macfarlaine- Bass, Backup VocalsRobin Goodridge-DrumsTheir debut album 'Silver Sppons n Broken Bones' was labelled by Classic Rock as 'one of the best Biritsh Rock albums of this decade'. The album was also rated very highly by Kerrang! and Metalhammer.I urge you to check them out if you are looking for some fresh new rock.www.stonegods.co.ukwww.myspace.com/thestonegodsThere have been many fans with this band from the start, one of them being me. A few countries have their own fanbases etc, so if you give them a listen and like them, try and help us support them, because they are going to be huge.

FunkyMonk Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Guess this proves they're nothing without Justin, and he's nothing without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I listened to the album a while ago and thought it was pretty bland and quite boring... Not close to The Darkness' first album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Their decent, but I much prefered the cheesy, catchy anthem rock of The Darkness.I wish they'd reform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaMmYPat Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Guess this proves they're nothing without Justin, and he's nothing without them.Well, he was The Darkness, but his brother is the driving force of Stone Gods, and they are gonna make it. Gigs with Airbourne, Thin Lizzy and Velvet Revolver, hmm quite a good effort for a band who has just launched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
