British comedy hero Frank Skinner has revealed the band he'd banish from the face of the Earth given the chance - and it's a beloved 21st century rock 'n' roll powerhouse who once scored a UK number one album.
Speaking to Metal Hammer for an exclusive interview in their latest issue, Skinner is asked if there are any bands he'd "send to Room 101" - essentially making them disappear. "Probably The Darkness," he replies. "Queen were borderline for me - they were to rock music what Showaddywaddy were to 50s rock’n’roll. I don’t like comedy heavy metal – my son won’t even watch Spinal Tap because he’s worried it’ll take the piss out of the music too much.
