Hard rock trio DANKO JONES have announced a September 18th Los Angeles show at The Viper Room in connection with the release of their new CD, Never Too Loud, out September 8th via Bad Taste Records/Caroline.

Later this fall, the group will join British punk icons THE DAMNED on the road for US shows from October 21st through November 1st.

In other news, Danko Jones’ first single, 'Code Of The Road', will be featured on the Saw VI soundtrack - due out October 20th on Trustkill Records.

According to the group, 'Code Of The Road' is “a song about endless touring - the ups and downs and the time away from home. After eight years of non-stop touring, it just kinda came out of us.”

For Never Too Lound, the group - Danko Jones (lead vocals/guitars), John Calabrese (bass), Dan Cornelius (drums) - teamed with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (RUSH, FOO FIGHTERS, VELVET REVOLVER). The disc showcases the group’s adrenalized, raucous garage rock that encompasses everything that’s fun about hard rock past and present.

The complete tracklisting for Never Too Loud is as follows: 'Code of the Road', 'City Streets', 'Still In High School', 'Take Me Home', 'Let’s Get Undressed', 'King Of Magazines', 'Forest For The Trees', 'Your Tears My Smile', 'Something Better', 'Ravenous', 'Never Too Loud', 'My Problems (Are Your Problems Now)'*, 'Sugar High'*, 'R.I.P. RFTC'*. (*US only bonus tracks)

Hailing from Toronto, Danko Jones’ no-holds-barred performance style has made them beloved fixtures on the European festival circuit, which has helped the group achieve high chart positions (including a Top 10 position in the Swedish sales charts) and strong record sales across the continent. The trio has gained recognition of like-minded music luminaries, with THE RACONTEURS covering their song 'Samuel Sin', being handpicked by the legendary MOTÖRHEAD to join them on tour and opening for the ROLLING STONES in their hometown of Toronto.

Danko Jones’ career now spans three US album releases - including the previous We Sweat Blood (2005) and Sleep Is The Enemy (2006) (both on Razor & Tie) - as well as multiple Juno Award nominations.
