The Darkness Release New Single Rock And Roll Party Cowboy and Announce Dreams On Toast Album and Tour
British rock legends The Darkness have unveiled their brand-new single, ‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy,’ the opening track of their eagerly awaited album Dreams On Toast, set to drop on March 28th, 2025 via Cooking Vinyl. Pre-order the album now HERE.
A Rock Anthem Packed with Nostalgia
‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’ channels the raw energy of hard rock icons like ZZ Top, Motörhead, and Judas Priest. Featuring searing guitar solos, high-octane vocals, and a driving rhythm section, the track offers a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the hedonistic, macho rock scene of the ’70s and ’80s.
Frontman Justin Hawkins humorously describes the track, saying:
“People recognize me as astronaut pirate movie star cool, and that’s obviously accurate. But what they may not realize is that I am also ROCK AND ROLL PARTY COWBOY cool… which is a good 15 percent cooler! You’ll recognize that immediately on the first listen.”
A Glimpse Into Dreams On Toast
‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’ is the third single from Dreams On Toast and is accompanied by a stunning visualizer featuring imagery from The Darkness’s intimate shows at London’s Rough Trade store in December. This track follows the self-deprecating glam-punk hit ‘I Hate Myself’ and the infectious pop brilliance of ‘The Longest Kiss,’ showcasing the dynamic range of the band’s eighth studio album.
Produced by Dan Hawkins, Dreams On Toast captures The Darkness in peak form, blending their signature sound with bold new directions. The album celebrates their rock roots while offering fresh surprises that will leave fans amazed and inspired.
A Legacy Reinvented
As one of Britain’s most influential rock bands, The Darkness continues to redefine their sound. Over 20 years into their multi-platinum, award-winning career, the band—comprised of Justin Hawkins (vocals, guitar), Dan Hawkins (guitar), Frankie Poullain (bass), and Rufus Tiger Taylor (drums)—proves their unwavering passion and creativity with Dreams On Toast.
