Justin David Hawkins (born 17 March 1975) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, best known for being the lead singer and lead guitarist of The Darkness, alongside his brother, guitarist Dan Hawkins, bass player Frankie Poullain and drummer Rufus Taylor.
Hawkins, although born in Surrey, is from Lowestoft. Hawkins began playing clubs and pubs with The Darkness, with founding members brother Dan, Poullain and drummer Ed Graham until they were signed by record label Atlantic Records. Their debut album, Permission to Land, went straight to number two in the UK charts upon its release on 7 July 2003, before going to number one and staying there for four weeks, eventually going on to sell 1.5 million copies in the UK. 3.5m copies over all. The success of this album led to heavy touring for the band, including European portions of Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003. They then went on to headline the Carling Festival in 2004. The band won three BRIT Awards in 2004 in response to the album, Best Group, Best Rock Group and Best Album. They also won two Kerrang! awards in 2004 for Best Live Act and Best British Band. The band also appeared in the video "Band Aid 20" with Justin singing a number of lines.By late 2004 the band's constant media coverage had started to lead to a general public backlash, and Hawkins and the band themselves seemed to show signs that they were disillusioned with their constant media appearances.
"One Way Ticket", the first single from their second album, One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back!, was released on 14 November 2005, debuting and peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles chart. The album itself was released on 28 November 2005, to somewhat mixed reviews. The album was produced by rock producer Roy Thomas Baker, best known for his work with Queen. Early sales figures in the UK showed the album had not sold as well its predecessor, Permission to Land. The album debuted at no. 11, and fell to number 34 in the second week of its release. Although it went on to achieve platinum status, this was in stark contrast with their debut's five times platinum status. By that time, Poullain had left the band, being replaced by Richie Edwards.- Actor

"and i quote" Devil Dog Shuck Returns is one of the most bizarre, distinctive, subversive, idiosyncratic, clinically insane slices of avant-garde cinema that has ever troubled my eyeballs. .- Writer
