The Darkness' Justin Hawkins on guitar solos, still hitting the high notes, 'Dreams on Toast,' more (BV Archives)

This week we've got an interview with The Darkness' Justin Hawkins from the BrooklynVegan archives that has never been used on the pod. We talked to Justin in early 2025 as The Darkness were getting ready to release their eighth album, Dreams on Toast. We discussed guitar solos, how he can still hit all those notes two decades on, his Justin Hawkins Rides Again YouTube channel, and more.   -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein Darkness photo by Simon Emmett
