UCR’s Michael Gallucci wrote: “Dreams on Toast bears no overriding theme other than have a good time and try to get out alive; if you can’t, that’s cool, too. The album’s 33 minutes whiz by, with power pop, metal and even some galloping country (‘Hot on My Tail,’ ‘Cold Hearted Woman’) tossed into the fidgety mix.”When the band’s star-making debut album, Permission to Land, turned 20 in 2023, frontman Justin Hawkins marveled to UCR about making it two decades in the business.”You get a band that’s around for 20 years and then you can’t shoot them down,” he said. “They’re bulletproof, they have their own audience and their own way of doing things. And that’s the sort of longevity that you don’t dare to imagine at the beginning of a project. If you get there it’s a miracle, really.”The Darkness 2025 North American Tour DatesAug. 29 – Pryor, OK @ Pryor Creek Music Festival GroundsAug. 30 – Saint Louis, MO @ The PageantAug. 31 – Nashville, TN @ Brooklyn BowlSept. 2 – Atlanta, GA @ Masquerade – Heaven StageSept. 3 – Huntsville, AL @ Von Braun Center – Mars Music HallSept. 5 – Norfolk, VA @ The NorVaSept. 6 – Richmond, VA @ The NationalSept. 7 – Washington, DC @ Lincoln TheatreSept. 9 – Allentown, PA @ Archer Music HallSept. 10 – New York, NY @ Irving PlazaSept. 12 – Toronto, ON @ Phoenix Concert TheatreSept. 13 – Kitchener, ON @ ElementsSept. 14 – Montréal, QC @ Club SodaSept. 16 – Indianapolis, IN @ Egyptian Room at Old National CentreSept. 17 – Detroit, MI @ Saint Andrew’s HallSept. 19 – Minneapolis, MN @ Varsity TheaterSept. 20 – Milwaukee, WI @ The Rave/Eagles Club – The Rave HallSept. 21 – Cleveland, OH @ Agora Theatre and BallroomNov. 7 – Houston, TX @ Warehouse Live MidtownNov. 8 – Austin, TX @ Emo’sNov. 9 – Dallas, TX @ The Echo Lounge & Music HallNov. 12 – Los Angeles, CA @ The WilternNov. 13 – San Francisco, CA @ The FillmoreNov. 15 – Boise, ID @ Knitting Factory Concert HouseNov. 17 – Portland, OR @ Revolution HallNov. 18 – Vancouver, BC @ Commodore BallroomNov. 19 – Seattle, WA @ The ShowboxNov. 21 – Salt Lake City, UT @ The DepotNov. 22 – Denver, CO @ Summit Music Hall2025 Summer Rock Tour Preview
