Formed in Toronto in 1996, DANKO JONES have seen and done just about everything over the last quarter of a century. Powered by a DIY punk rock spirit, and inspired by the good, great and grotesque of electrified rock ‘n’ roll, they have steadily built a colossal international fan base and become one of the most acclaimed live bands around, embraced by everyone from mainstream radio-rock fans to diehard metalheads. Along the way, they have released eleven widely praised studio albums, generating a peerless repertoire of fists-in-the-air crowd-pleasers into the bargain.
Their latest offering, Electric Sounds, has the instant sound and feel of a classic. When the wheel is spinning freely and propelling you forward, there’s no need to reinvent the damn thing: instead, this band are simply honing and refining their craft, and always at full volume. From the chest-out chutzpah of the opening "Guess Who’s Back" and the muscular new wave strut of "Good Time", the ultimate pothead anthem "Get High?" to the title track’s promise to “smash a thousand guitars tonight!” and "Stiff Competition"’s angular, cock-eyed stomp and juddering bull’s-eye of chorus, Electric Sounds is a deceptively diverse affair. Meanwhile, no band has ever sounded more ready to hit the road than the pumped-up threesome showcased on hell-for-leather ragers like "Eye For An Eye", "What Goes Around" and mad-eyed and murderous closer "Shake Your City". Head over to the DANKO JONES Youtube channel at THIS LOCATION, to watch all of the band's recent video clips!
Electric Sounds was produced by Eric Ratz, and guest spots from Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies) on "She’s My Baby", Damian Abraham of Fucked Up on "Get High?" and guitarist Daniel Dekay (from Canadian thrash legends Exciter) on "Electric Sounds" complete the picture with a snotty flourish.
