DANKO JONES have announced a new album!

Titled Electric Sounds, the upcoming album from the Canadian hard rock trio is the follow-up to 2021’s Power Trio, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via AFM Records.

The upcoming album was produced by Eric Ratz, and features guest spots from Tyler Stewart [BARENAKED LADIES], Damian Abraham [FUCKED UP] and guitarist Daniel Dekay [EXCITER].

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

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Guess Who’s Back. Speaking about the new song, Jones says, “Guess Who’s Back is not only the lead-off track to our new album, Electric Sounds, it’s also the imperative sentence everyone is begging to answer – DANKO JONES!”
