Because mainstream tastes suck and rock is dead in the mainstream. At least they got the attention they deserved with their first album.

Can't believe I'm giving these guys a serious listen now and they've been out over 15 yrs. They're awesome!

I like how this video from 2005 lamented the lack of metal right before the resurgence of the genre that happened in the latter half of the decade. It was an awesome time to be a teenage metalhead. Rock on, everyone.

...but surely a one way ticket 'and back' is a return?

It was a dusty old night and I'm the first to admit it I'm sure I upset someone but my memory has chosen to omit it A tiny voice telling me I really should cool it Chewing my face off talking absolute rubbish The first line hit me like a kick in the face I thought "I'd better have another one just in case" Next thing i knew, my heart was under attack I bought a one way ticket to hell...and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell... I've always tried to keep my vices under wraps But a coach-load of mutes would appear talkative chaps If they had seen fit to join me for a couple of hits Now my septum is in tatters and I've still got the runs Burned for a moment, then it kicked like a mule The strangers I recruited thought it was rocket fuel Several massive choking lines of glorius gack I bought a one way ticket to hell...and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell... Stick it up your f***ing nose! Holding court, repeating myself, each repetition slightly louder Pausing just long enough to snort the white powder The wheels came off but I'm still on track I bought a one way ticket to hell...and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell... One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell..

THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!!!! It's one you don't mind having stuck in your head all day.

My favourite from the album 'One Way Ticket To Hell And Back' An absolute stomper when played live!

The Darkness will always be beloved here. So many great songs and Justin’s falsettos are amazing.

This is the song that was playing in the car when I had my first car accident on my p plates 😂 🔥 🤘

By far absolutely no competition 100% the best music video EVER!!!😁

this is so under-appreciated. the lyrics are exceptional.

The AC/DC sound 🔝🤘

I seem to remember music mags being obsessed with highlighting that a 'one way ticket to hell...and back' would be a return ticket!

He should have just got a return ticket to avoid any confusion.

This is a message from the future: December 2017 here: It's true, the absence of significant rock-based music of exceptional quality is really freezing our brains when the main theme of this year is Despacito. We failed people. Turn back!

Brilliant song by The Darkness they are a top notch rock band and I'm an professional Bass Guitarist and I've learned a lot from just listening to the Darkness and also Thin Lizzy as well but I've got to say that there the best 2 rock bands on the planet and they both totally kick ass.
