| The new Danko Jones album A Rock Supreme – produced by GGGarth Richardson – is out April 26. |
It's long been clear that the Canadian hard rock trio Danko Jones lives and breathes – and even sweats and bleeds – rock n' roll. The group's namesake front man loves to talk about it (check out his long-running “The Official Danko Jones Podcast” for proof); he loves to write about it (as his new book, “I've Got Something To Say: 10 Years of Rock and Roll Ramblings,” pointedly captures); and he loves to sing about it, as evidenced by a number of the group's best-loved songs (“I Gotta Rock,” “Rock Shit Hot,” “Do You Wanna Rock,” etc.).
On the group's new album, A Rock Supreme, Danko Jones – the man and the band – up the ante considerably from the moment the very first words blast from the speakers: I'm in a band, and I love it / All I want to do is play my guitar and rock and roll. There's no midlife crisis here, no softening with age, no signs of self-doubt – just 11 fist-pumping (literally, in the case of “Fists Up High”) jolts of sonic adrenaline with nary a ballad in sight.
“'A Rock Supreme' is the name of our new studio album. There are 11 songs on it, and they're all fantastic,” says Jones. “Trust me – we know what we're doing when it comes to hard rock.”
Produced by GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and featuring cover artwork by Ulf Lunden (Graveyard, Europe, Bombus), A Rock Supreme – which is available now for pre-order – will be released on April 26 via M-Theory Audio (U.S.), Rise Above (UK), Indica (Canada, AU, NZ) and AFM (rest of the world). All digital pre-orders include three instant downloads – the previously released singles “We're Crazy” and “Burn In Hell,” and the newly-released “Dance Dance Dance,” which can now be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and other digital platforms.
Recently, Danko Jones premiered the track “Dance Dance Dance” on Jonesy's Jukebox with host Steve Jones (see below). The band will soon hit the road for a two-week headlining tour in the Western U.S. with support from the amazing Nashville Pussy and recent European tour mates Prima Donna. A complete list of the band's upcoming concerts follows the album's track listing and the Jonesy's Jukebox clip. For tickets and more info, go the official Danko Jones site right here.
