The Darkness paid to record their own album, they were a music industry joke, apparently, prior to eventually hitting it big. No one would sign them. The lead singer took a pretty big risk to get the album out and heard.

I'd say they're pretty much a great example of a band making it through their own initiative and hard work, and off the strength of live performances. They were well known as an incredible live band before they gained wider exposure.

They deserve their success, in my opinion. I'd love to see them live too, their shows look amazing.

Some of you people need to lighten up a bit.
