The Darkness have just dropped their excellent new album, Dreams On Toast, a record that’s full of the kind of fist-in-the-air anthems that remind you why you fell in love with them in the first place.
But the Dreams On Toast also features an unexpected guest appearances from a bona fide Hollywood star. The album’s closing track, the blockbusting ballad Weekend In Rome, includes a spoken word section, in which a gravelly American voice intones the lines: “Meandering like the Tiber, gand in hand, we scaled the Spanish Steps, the night air thick and sultry, I kiss you beneath the Italian moonlight... This was my dream.”
