Month: March 2017

”New album Wild Cat is the band’s eight studio recording, and it carries on right where 2015’s Fire Music left off: 11 short’n’sharp anthems of pride and pain, sex and swagger, dirt and devilry.” – Fraser Lewry, Classic Rock

 

With the previous album Fire Music Danko Jones reached their highest chart positions to date in a number of European territories as well as incredible radio results. Today, on March 3rd, Danko Jones return with their latest masterpiece – Wild Cat – released through eOne in Canada and Bad Taste Records/AFM Records in the rest of the world, once again produced by Juno Award winning producer Eric Ratz.Danko Jones have never felt more vibrant or hungry than they are on Wild Cat. The 11-track album is a raw representation of the band’s collective musical history and their influences, (ranging from The Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy and Van Halen to The Misfits) is not only a declaration of love of these artists, but of the genre as a whole. The first single off the album, “My Little RnR”, (released January 27th), is an ode to the The Rolling Stones’ song Little T&A as well as a bangin’ rock song, and has been climbing the radio charts in Canada and many parts of Europe quickly over the past month.

In connection with the album release Danko Jones will embark on the Wild Cat World Tour, starting with a series of headline shows in Europe & Canada in March and April, followed by an extensive list of festivals throughout summer.

”Danko Jones onstage are a phenomenon; a whirlwind of intensity and wild fury, a group of musicians lost in the thrall of rock’n’roll’s fierce power.” – Fraser Lewry, Classic Rock
