Danko Jones's new album, "Never Too Loud", was released in the U.S. on September 8 via Bad Taste Records/Caroline.
Hailing from Toronto, the group - Danko Jones (lead vocals/guitars), John Calabrese (bass), Dan Cornelius (drums) - teamed with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Coheed And Cambria, Stone Sour, Velvet Revolver) and recorded "Never Too Loud" at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Los Angeles. Ted Jensen (Green Day, Rem) came onboard for mastering duties. "We really wanted to step it up sonically on this album, and Nick was the perfect guy for that," explains Danko Jones, the band's lead singer and guitarist.
The group tapped John Garcia of Kyuss fame and punk legend Pete Stahl (Wool Scream, Goatsnake) for the six-minute Sabbath-influenced epic "Forest For The Trees". From first single and album opener, "Code of the Road", to the infectious melodies of "City Streets", to the Bon Scott-channeling title track, "Never Too Loud" showcases the group's adrenalized, raucous garage rock that encompasses everything that's fun about hard rock past and present.
