(Contact Music) New Australian rock band WOLFMOTHER have lashed out at Brit rockers THE DARKNESS, accusing the group of making rock music sound ridiculous. The Sydney-based band are angry at the success The Darkness have enjoyed with their retro approach - because it betrays 'serious' rock. And they refuse to acknowledge the I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE hitmakers as a real band, claiming the JUSTIN HAWKINS-fronted foursome are nothing more than a comedy act.

I think it's hilarious that somebody is turning the tables on Justin Hawkins - he spends more time bitching than singing. I appreciate The Darkness' music, but Wolfmother kick their ****in' arse. If you don't have Wolfmother's album, get it.

Well, I've heard "Wolfmother" and their so-called "music"...and it sucks!!
The Darkness may be novelty, but at least they sound good doing it.
