Currently in the midst of a U.S. tour with Clutch, Canadian rockers DANKO JONES took time out in Los Angeles to shoot a video for their new single “Full of Regret.” The video features guest appearances from Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges) as well as actors Elijah Wood and Selma Blair.
Shot in downtown Los Angeles, the video portrays Lemmy as a big bad mob boss who hires Selma Blair and Elijah Wood as hit men to take out DANKO JONES. Mike Watt plays the narrator as the action-packed story continues to unfold. For the clip, the group tapped Josh and Jason Diamond to direct and Joe DeVito at Capital V (Jackass, Viva La Bam) to produce. Watch the clip from the making of the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGpSDus4PfE.

DANKO JONES will release their new album BELOW THE BELT May 18 via indie Bad Taste Records. BELOW THE BELT follows the group’s 2008 release, Never Too Loud. Since then, the band has shared the stage with Motörhead, opened for Guns N' Roses' Canadian tour early this year and just wrapped a successful run at SXSW.
For the new album, the trio worked with Matt Dematteo to produce, resulting in 11 furious rock songs that highlight the band’s electrifying mix of hard rock and punk with a classic metal twist. All photos and artwork for BELOW THE BELT are by esteemed photographer Dean Karr (Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson).
