As the New Year approaches, so does an exciting new era for THE DARKNESS. The UK rockers have recruited Emily Dolan Davies as their new drummer and are planning to release a new album in March 2015.

Davies was involved with the recording of THE DARKNESS’s upcoming album, tentatively titled ‘Cliffhanger,’ and frontman Justin Hawkins is excited about their new female addition.

Her resume includes playing on Bryan Ferry’s album ‘Olympia’, touring with hip-hop artist Tricky and doing a U.K. festival run with Cher Lloyd. She replaces THE DARKNESS’ founding member Ed Graham, who exited the band in late 2014.
