Interview with The Darkness Bassist Frankie Poullain…

England’s most distinctive, multiple award-winning, platinum-selling, hugely entertaining rock gods and one-time saviors of rock n’ roll turned international pleasures The Darkness is back with their fifth album Pinewood Smile, due for release October 6th through Cooking Vinyl.

I sat down with Frankie Poullain via Skype to learn more about the album, as well as how he got his start on bass…

Videos from the upcoming album:

“All The Pretty Girls” is a glorious, hard-rockin’, autobiographical anthem intellectually examining the fact that when you’re a rock star you get a lot of attention from ladies and discussing the ethical conundrums that come with that.
