The years have been very kind to The Darkness. Fifteen years after the release of their smash debut LP, Permission to Land, the UK hard-rockers have established themselves as one of the best rock outfits touring, delivering an over-the-top live show complete with the sort of showmanship one rarely sees in live bands these days.

Touring in support of their recent Pinewood Smile LP, the band ran through a number of new songs at their packed Corona gig, which slid in nicely with the band’s AC/DC meets Queen sound. Without shorting the new material, the band made sure to deliver the hits, performing a whopping nine songs from their debut LP, including crowd pleasers like “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” and “Growing on Me.”
