THE DARKNESS – I HATE MYSELF – SINGLE REVIEW

‘I Hate Myself’ is just what we have grown to love and expect from this band. Filled with theatrical attitude and old school rock and roll vibes, its a nostalgic nod to the greats of the 1970’s, its glitz and glam personified mixed with a dose of self loathing. Overall, its a song of defiance and a reminder to expect the unexpected as far as The Darkness are concerned all ensconced in a thoroughly foot tapping anthem!

For those are sick of the forced joviality of the festive season, The Darkness seek to redress the balance with their new single ‘I Hate Myself’.

The much-loved UK rock gurus are back and playing a string of Rough Trade in-stores this week in London, Nottingham, and Liverpool.

The band are pulling out all the stops, ahead of their new album ‘Dreams On Toast’ – which is due for release on March 28th – together with their nationwide headline tour.

Out now, ‘I Hate Myself’ is a full-on stomper of a track, sonically merging full on heavy, stick ya tongue out and make the “rock on” hand signal, with a definitive cheeky sequin clad glam rock vibe intertwined throughout; its The Darkness at their absolute finest.

With nothing left to prove as seasoned musicians, and with a 17-date UK headline tour announced and with their eighth album on the horizon, the new single is a testament to their peacock strutting confidence which will take them into 2025 and beyond.
