“The Darkness sound like Tiny Tim covering Heart, and their image is playful enough that I doubt they'd get angry if I assumed they were being satirical… [Eamon] claims his sound, proudly described as 'ho-wop' at the start of his debut album, ‘I Don't Want You Back,’ is inspired by Frankie Lymon and the Wu-Tang Clan. And his best songs do kinda suggest 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love' mixed with Ol' Dirty Bastard's 'I Want Pussy.'-Anthony Miccio, reviewing the debut album by Eamon (who did that brilliant “Fuck It” song), in the Village Voice.
Speaking of The Darkness, they kick ass- the download of the year so far is their two-octaves-higher-than-Thom-Yorke cover of Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out).”
