Toronto rockers Danko Jones have checked in with the following message:

"This past Sunday, August 13 marked 10 years that drummer Rich Knox has been in our band bashing it out on the skins. If you see us smiling and laughing on stage, it’s because it’s always a blast to play shows with Rich. We’ve had our share of drummers over the years, but he is, by far, theeee best drummer we’ve ever ever had and there’s no stoppage in sight. Love you, Rich."

Danko Jones performed their latest single, "Good Time", during their set at Graspop Metal Meeting 2023. Watch video below.

A message states: "This was a blast and the first time we played our new song 'Good Time'. It's available on all streaming platforms, and mark your calendars for September 15th when our album will be released!"

With Electric Sounds, Toronto’s archbishops of amplification prove that even a global pandemic couldn’t stop Danko Jones.

“Not working for two years really felt like touring rock bands were being put out to pasture,” recalls Danko. “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...”

Five songs have since been expanded to eleven new Danko Jones songs, and Electric Sounds promises to have the instant sound and feel of a classic. With no need to reinvent the wheel, the group have further honed and refined their craft - always at full volume - although Electric Sounds is a deceptively diverse affair. No band has ever sounded more ready to hit the road than the pumped-up threesome showcased on the hell-for-leather ragers featured on their forthcoming album.

Electric Sounds was produced by Eric Ratz, and features guest spots from Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies), Damian Abraham (Fucked Up) and guitarist Daniel Dekay (from Canadian thrash legends Exciter).
