They have just recorded a new album, which hopefully will be out soon.
I recently got to regret Dan's black LP std called Shuck (used to be Justin's) and did a major overhaul to Justin's 1971 white Fender strat, which he continued to use here and there on the recordings.

Justin is always busy recording and often producing for other bands as well as outside projects (he funded much of the early Darkness stuff from doing jingles and work in advertising or sessions)

I enjoyed Hotleg - they were fun , but thought that his tone wasn't always as good with the Cornford- lacked bottom end, which I have often felt about Cornford amps ( I remember seeing Paul Rodgers band use them and Gary Moore came on as a special guest with a Marshall and sounded way better)

This was a killer track from Hotleg - although a cover version:http://youtu.be/YGOuL1zQmOc

They were great live, but on the gig I saw Justin seemed a bit peeved to be playing a small and quiet gig.  I think he feeds off an audience a lot, and may probably have still been having addiction issues.

I wish I'd gone to see them on tour now!

I know for certain that they did use the old Marshall/powerbrake combo live before the breakup- there was a longer article in a German mag.
Also Dan has used some rather complex rigs, whereas Justyn has stuck to mainly Rectifiers in the past.
Current BKPs: Miracle Man, Nailbomb, Juggernaut, VHII
Past BKPS: Holy Diver, Trilogy Suite, Sinner, Black Dog
