Dass die Power Rock’n Roller von DANKO JONES auch vor einem Haufen Metaller bestehen können, hatten sie zuletzt bei ihrem Auftritt bei der 2022er Ausgabe des Ruhrpott Metal Meetings bewiesen. Jetzt kündigt das Trio seinen neuen Langdreher unter dem Banner „Electric Sounds“ an. Die Veröffentlichung ist für den 15. September geplant.
Bandkopf Danko erinnert sich:
“Not working for two years really felt like touring rock bands were being put out to pasture,”. “But I guess that only made us try harder. We were still able to record and release an album during the pandemic (Power Trio, 2021). We toured as soon as we were allowed. Now that Electric Sounds is getting released, it doesn’t feel like we missed a beat. During the pandemic, we moved away from each other. JC lives in Finland and Rich lives in Prince Edward Island. So the writing for this band has changed. We used to bash out ideas in our rehearsal place, day after day, but it’s more about sending files back and forth now. However, last summer, while on tour, we did manage to jam out ideas in a rehearsal room in Berlin for a few days. Out of those jams came the nubs for five songs… I’d like to think Electric Sounds falls in line with all our previous albums. Over the years, we’ve carved out a sound and we’re sticking to it. But if you were to zoom in and compare it to other albums, I’d like to think it’s a bit faster than our other albums. Initially, I wanted all the songs to sound like our song, Cadillac – plodding, mid-tempo, heavy, and to the point.
Our songs are usually about rocking, wanting to rock, enjoying life while rocking, and sometimes I’ll sing about a woman. You can expect zero surprises!”

Lyrics:
Guess who’s back?
Me, motherfucker!
Take your best shot
Cause I don’t give a damn
And when you realize it
Gonna make you shake
I know you’re gonna deny it
It’s gonna feel great
No sleep
No chill
I’m gonna be up all night
Just killing it
No breaks
No rest
Just kicks
And punching the walls
Damn, it feels so good
Damn, it feels so nice
It feels so good when you know you’re right
And everybody else can kiss my ass
I’m gonna wreck this place
You’re gonna have a bad day
And it won’t stop
Till the smile’s off your face
No sleep
No chill
I’m gonna be up all night
Just killing it
No breaks
No rest
Just kicks
And punching the walls
Damn, it feels so good
Damn, it feels so nice
It feels so good when you know you’re right
And everybody else can kiss my ass
Guess who’s back?
Me, motherfucker!
Take your best shot
Cause I don’t give a damn
And when you realize it
Gonna make you shake
I know you’re gonna deny it
Gonna feel great
