FUSE TV chat about the Darkness Video
Look at this video the nice folks at FUSE TV put together about the Darkness's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us video. What was left on the table was this song gave me absolute chills when I first heard it and it's still chilling a million listens later. I'm so happy to have enjoyed and believed in this band for so long...all their new songs and current tour has been the maximum payoff. They do everything right.

The Darkness, 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us' Video
Turns out the greatest rock band of my young generation called on me to give their thunderously ripping fight song, ‘Nothin’s Gonna Stop Us’ something fun to look at while it blazes by. Unfortunately, they weren’t available to appear in the video, as they were on tour in the UK and originally hoped to debut the song/video Christmas day. So between the song's maxed out level of sheer awesomeness mixed with it being the band's first release since 2006, there was no question this video really had to be the real deal.
Through big dreamz and a bit of me wise magic, I believe the deal of real was reached. Hugely in part by the greatest crew ever imagined as well as The Darkness for giving me the keys to their muscle-car of rock and an open road to melt rubber.
