The Darkness aren’t stupid, so they know that a Xmas song brings the royalties every Nov/Dec and so to follow up their last epic ‘Don’t Let The Bells End’ they have released the retro-tastic ‘I AM SANTA’.  Lets have a look at both, shall we?

 

It has the usual hallmarks you’d expect with the jingle bells and the retro video and what not and whilst not as immediately Stacy as their previous effort it does grow on you after a few listens.  So get some eggnog and  some tinsel and have a listen (and try not to think of Jimmy Saville on Xmas TOTP). Also feel free to check out our review of the last time they visited Belfast here
