British rock group THE DARKNESS have confirmed they will release their third studio album titled HOT CAKES on August 21 via Wind-up (North & South America) and PIAS (UK and rest of the world).

After a seven-year wait, HOT CAKES is produced by the band’s JUSTIN and DAN HAWKINS with long-time collaborator Nick Brine and mixed by Bob Ezrin. The band promises to deliver the epic rock anthems and infectious pop choruses their fans have come to expect.

THE DARKNESS kick off an Australian tour this week (May 4) before returning to the U.S. May 18 for select dates and three festival appearances.

Following the U.S. shows, they’ll perform festivals across the U.K. and Europe as well as a hometown outdoor headlining gig at Thetford Fest in Suffolk before teaming with Lady Gaga for her “Born This Way Ball” tour.
