Groove rockers Dark Stares have announced the release of their upcoming debut album; Darker Days Are Here To Stay, on Friday 11th May. The St Albans’ foursome have previously opened sold-out shows for Enter Shikari and The Darkness and are now focused on their highly anticipated debut album.

“‘Darker Days Are Here to Stay’ was a coming-of-age recording process for the band. Dark Stares have always been obsessed with self-producing, DIY tracking, and even rehashing professional mixes to make them sound ‘dirtier’, more low-fi or add new layers and ideas. Recording in our own studio was claustrophobic at times, challenging but a rewarding evolution for our sound. We took our time, carefully crafted new homemade tracks and it feels great to have our debut album out there at last, and we hope our fans will embrace it.” – Miles Kristian Howell (vocals)
