Review & Description
Toronto band My Darkest Days digs way down into their collective libido on "Casual Sex," the first single from SICK AND TWISTED AFFAIR, hits #1 Rock Song on iTunes, their second album, due for spring release on Mercury Records. The new album was produced by Joey Moi, who worked with the band on their last self-titled debut MY DARKEST DAYS. "Casual Sex," available today at iTunes, and impacting January 30th at Active and Mainstream rock radio formats, features incendiary guitar work by John 5 (of Robb Zombie and Marilyn Manson renown). Coinciding with the release of SICK AND TWISTED AFFAIR, My Darkest Days will hit the road for the massive two and a half month Nickelback "Here and Now Tour 2012" also starring Bush and Seether. The 39-city North American tour opens April 10th at the i wireless Center in Moline, IL, and wraps up June 26th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. Tickets for most dates go on sale this Friday-Saturday, January 20-21. (Please check with local venue for ticket sale dates; and please see complete tour itinerary below.) My Darkest Days first hit the charts in the fall of 2010, when their iconic debut single on Mercury Records, "Porn Star Dancing," rose to #1 on the Active Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, and Top 20 at Alternative. "PSD" was certified RIAA gold in the U.S. (over 800,000 digital sales and still a recurrent Top 10 at Active Rock) and gold in Canada. The video (directed by Brendan Kyle Cochrane) broke the world record for the number of dancers in a music video, collected over 12 million YouTube views, and was also certified RIAA platinum. My Darkest Days - Matt Walst (vocals, rhythm guitars), Brendan McMillan (bass, backing vocals), Doug Oliver (drums, backing vocals), Reid Henry (keyboard, backing vocals), Sal Coz Costa (lead guitar, backing vocals) - had a dream, they said, of hearing their single played in stripper clubs across North America and going to #1, and their dream came true. "Porn Star Dancing" was co-produced by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, who first signed My Darkest Days to his Mountainview/604 Records. "Porn Star Dancing" made the rounds in two different versions, both featuring cameo appearances by Kroeger: a rock version with guitarist Zakk Wylde, and a pop mix featuring Def Jam labelmate Ludacris. Kroeger went on to co-produce (with Joey Moi) MDD's self-titled debut album, released September 2010.
