Darkness Party Political Broadcast: The Hour Cometh
gdobson by Gareth Dobson December 14th, 2003
“Buy this single NOW or never complain about Pop Idol again...”

Where did these words of wisdom come from? Was it Ghandi? Jesus Christ? Dave ‘Kid’ Jensen?

No, they came from DiS gonk legend extraordinaire, Peter White. And the man has a point.

‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)’ by band of 2003, The Darkness is out Monday 15th December, and you need to buy it.

We could give you all the spiel and wherefores and wherehows, but you know why. It’s all spelt out in the first line.

Merry Christmas.

This transmission was not in anyway paid for by Atlantic. Promise.
