The Darkness este o formație britanică de hard rock și glam rock fondată în anul 2000 în orașul Lowestoft. Trupa și-a câștigat faima datorită simțului pentru pompozitate și exagerare, având printre modelele sale muzicale pe Queen, AC/DC și Led Zeppelin.
Albumul One Way Ticket to Hell ...And Back a apărut în 2005 la casa de discuri Cooking Vinyl, fiind al doilea album de studio al formației. Producția a fost realizată de legendarul Roy Thomas Baker, care a lucrat cu Queen. Colecția de 4 CD-uri cuprinde pe lângă albumul principal 10 piese (inclusiv hiturile One Way Ticket, Is It Just Me? sau balada Blind Man) și 7 piese bonus cu B-side-uri și remix-uri, un concert live de la Birmingham NEC din februarie 2006, înregistrări demo și mixaje rough timpurii din studioul Whitfield Street. Hard rock energic cu specific glam rock, condimentat de stilul vocal falsetto caracteristic al lui Justin Hawkins.
