DANKO JONES' career spans four full-length albums like 2002's Born A Lion, 2003's We Sweat Blood and 2005's Sleep Is The Enemy, along with  numerous EPs, collections and compilation cuts, multiple Juno Award nominations (Canada's version of the Grammy awards) and the just-released fourth studio album, Never Too Loud.

After five years of gigging their guts out on five continents and 30 countries, the Toronto Hard Rock trio called a time out at the end of 2006. Securing the highly coveted services of ace Grammy-winning Rock producer Nick Raskulinecz, (RUSH, FOO FIGHTERS, COHEED & CAMBRIA, STONE SOUR, VELVET REVOLVER) the band spurred into a feverish and fruitful writing period.

DANKO JONES have also upped their songwriting quality in Never To Loud. They stick to the Hard Rock plot stylistically, but it's one with enough musical twists and turns to keep your interest level high. DANKO did encompass a little more of different styles of Hard Rock on this album but with faith on their pure Rock 'n' Roll status.

Songs that you can mark out of Never Too Loud with the first listening session are the real melodic sweetness of Take Me Home, but it still rocks, while stun guns are set on high for Forest For The Trees. This SABBATH-style 6-minute epic features vocal contributions from punk legend Pete Stahl (WOOL, SCREAM, GOATSNAKE) and John Garcia of KYUSS.

If you are a hard-rocker and you want to listen only to bands that put their money were their mouth is, then join the wildeness of DANKO JONES.
