THE DARKNESS Angered Over BRITS Snub

April 8, 2005

BBC Radio One is reporting that THE DARKNESS frontman Justin Hawkins is peeved about not being nominated at this year's prestigious Brit Awards, even though it took place in February.

Last year THE DARKNESS won three awards but Justin's mad they didn't even get recognized in the Best Live Act category this year, which was eventually won by MUSE.

"I'm bitter about the Brits, I really am," he said.

"We've sold 130,000 tickets for thirteen dates. It's more than anybody else that year and we weren't nominated.

"I see that as a snub, I think the British music industry has learnt from what we've done and said 'Right, we've learnt from them now let's discard them.'

"Well, fuck you. We're coming back and there's nothing you can do about it."
