About DANKO JONES:
Hailing from Toronto, DANKO JONES are invading the U.S. with the release of NEVER TOO LOUD, their brand new studio album, out September 8 via Bad Taste Records/Caroline. The trio teamed with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz and recorded NEVER TOO LOUD at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. Over the past five years, DANKO JONES have achieved hard rock hero status in Europe. The group’s no-holds-barred performance style has made them beloved fixtures on the European festival circuit (Lowlands, Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Wacken Open Air, Rock Werchter, Hultsfred, Leeds and Reading), which has helped the group achieve high chart positions (including a Top 10 position in the Swedish sales charts) and strong record sales across the continent. The trio has gained recognition of like-minded music luminaries, with the Raconteurs covering their song “Samuel Sin,” being handpicked by the legendary Motorhead to join them on tour and opening for The Rolling Stones in their hometown of Toronto. DANKO JONES’ career now spans three U.S. album releases–including the previous We Sweat Blood 2005 and Sleep Is The Enemy 2006 (both on Razor & Tie)–as well as multiple Juno Award nominations. www.dankojones.com; www.myspace.com/dankojones.
