Before The Darkness, Dan Hawkins was working as a session guitarist on everything from indie tracks to boy band demos! But when it came to finding his own sound in a rock band, Dan went back to AC/DC and spent an entire year studying Malcolm Young — even panning the stereo so Angus wouldn't distract him.
