"Sad to say our fantastic drummer Emily Dolan Davies is leaving for new projects, and so we part ways with fond farewells," says the group. "Emily played a huge part in the recording of our new album 'Last of Our Kind' and makes a final appearance in the video for our single 'Open Fire' which is coming to a screen near you soon � Good luck Emily!"

Davies replaced original drummer Ed Graham after a split last fall; she recorded the band's fourth album and made her live debut with The Darkness at an intimate secret show March 4 on Ireland's Valentia Island as part of a 10-show run across the country to road test their new material.
