Multi-platinum UK Rock band The Darkness have released new single “Rock And Roll Party Cowboy,” the opening track of their forthcoming album Dreams on Toast, out March 28th , 2025 via Cooking Vinyl.
The new track is a “tongue-in-cheek reflection on the hedonistic, macho music scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s.”
Regarding the single, frontman Justin Hawkins says:
People recognise me as astronaut pirate movie star cool and that’s obviously accurate. What they may have overlooked though, is that I am also ROCK AND ROLL PARTY COWBOY cool… which is a good 15 percent cooler!!! I think you’ll recognise that in the first listen.
“Rock And Roll Party Cowboy” is the third single to be taken from the forthcoming album Dreams On Toast. It follows “I Hate Myself” and ”The Longest Kiss”. Dreams On Toast was Produced by Dan Hawkins at Hawkland Studios in Sussex, England.
Welcome To The Darkness, the documentary directed by photographer Simon Emmett, will be available for the first time in the U.S. on April 15th. The film originally released November 2023 in the UK, follows The Darkness from before their debut album Permission To Land in 2003 throughout the highs and lows over the years, to beyond 2017’s Pinewood Smile.
