\/ RELEASE.NOTES \/
| |
| So what do we really know about rock ænÆ roll? That itÆs got a |
| backbeat, and you can lose it any old time you use it. That doing |
| it all night will often lead to partying every day or, at the |
| very least, some hootchie- coo. That it is most certainly not |
| noise pollution (and thus, one presumes, environmentally |
| friendly). That there is at least one high school named after it. |
| That it was given to you by God. That you canÆt stop it. That it |
| never forgets. And that, despite rumours of its demise, it will |
| never die. |
| |
| Danko Jones knows all of these things, but more than just |
| celebrate the mythology of rock ænÆ roll, he stands as a model of |
| all the hard work required to honour its legacyùall the overnight |
| drives, sleeplessnights, long-distance relationshipping, and |
| pints of spilt blood and sweat (but no tearsùthereÆs no crying in |
| rock ænÆ roll). ItÆs the only life heÆs known for the past 16 |
| years, the gory details of which are on full display in the |
| recently released documentary DVD, Bring on the Mountain, and |
| upcoming tell-all book Too Much Trouble: A Very Oral History of |
| Danko Jones. Given everything heÆs been through, itÆs no surprise |
| to find that rock ænÆ roll has left Danko Jones a little black |
| and blue. But heÆs always itching for the next hitùlike the sweet |
| little heartbreakers that populate his songs, rock ænÆ roll is an |
| addiction he donÆt wanna quit. |
| |
| Over the course of six albums, Danko Jones has forged a singular |
| brand of rock ænÆ roll that draws equally from the blues, Æ60s |
| garage, Æ70s hard rock and power-pop, Æ80s hardcore, æ90s indie |
| rock and Scandinavian metalùnot to mention classic stand-up |
| comedy recordsùwithout ever being fully defined by any of those |
| sources. But while built from the same rudiments, each Danko |
| Jones record has possessed a distinct sonic identity and |
| attitude. IÆm Alive and IÆm On Fire was pure blues-punk fury. |
| Born a Lion brought the boogie and sledgehammer soul. We Sweat |
| Blood was more anxious and aggro. Sleep Is the Enemy wielded the |
| sharpest hooks. Never Too Loud was as slick as Below the Belt was |
| stripped-down. But, compared to all thatÆs come before, Rock and |
| Roll Is Black and Blue is, hands down, the most emotional and, as |
| a result, the most epic Danko Jones album to date. |
| |
| Now, donÆt be scared off by those E-wordsùthereÆs not a |
| childrenÆs choir, symphony orchestra or piano ballad to be found |
| within a 500-mile radius of this album. But what you hear on Rock |
| and Roll Is Black and Blue is the Danko Jones ideal blown up to |
| skyscraping proportions, resulting in 12 tracks that are bolder, |
| brasher, and brawnier than anything theyÆve attempted before. |
| |
| So what exactly has changed since 2010Æs comparatively scrappy |
| Below the Belt, an album that cracked the U.S. Top 40 Active Rock |
| Radio charts, and spawned a video trilogy that marked the first |
| time Elijah Wood and Ralph Macchio have shared screen time with |
| Lemmy Kilmister and Mike Watt? For a hint, look behind the drum |
| kit, where youÆll now find Atom Willardùthe sixth person in Danko |
| Jones history to hold the drummer title, but the first to stand |
| on equal creative footing with Danko and his longtime foil, |
| bassist John ôJCö Calabrese. The manÆs rΘsumΘ speaks for itself: |
| Not only was Willard the driving percussive force behind DankoÆs |
| all-time favorite San Diegan garage-punk armada Rocket From the |
| Crypt, heÆs also been keeping time for the multi-platinum likes |
| of the Offspring and Angels & Airwavesùso he knows how to drum |
| his way around a massive, radio-ready tune. |
| |
| Now, Danko Jones has never been lacking for confidence, but with |
| Willard in the tail-gunner position, the band sounds more |
| fearless than ever, whether taking it low and slow with the |
| majestic Zeppelin-worthy groove of ôYou Wear Me Down,ö or aiming |
| sky-high on the cloud-parting chorus of ôJust a Beautiful Dayö |
| and the soaring centrepiece track ôAlways Away.ö The latter is |
| another addition to the great Danko Jones canon of road songsùbut |
| where previous entries like ôCode of the Roadö and ôSleep Is the |
| Enemyö were testaments to the bandÆs tireless work ethic, ôAlways |
| Awayö offers a different perspective: ItÆs an anthemic, |
| open-hearted address to that special someone whoÆs holding down |
| the fort back home. And it is perhaps the most sincere, heartfelt |
| song Danko has ever sungùbut fear not, even at his most |
| sentimental, Danko still comes armed with a bitchinÆ |
| ôThunderstruckö-sized riff. |
| |
| In other developments, there are also, for the first time on a |
| Danko Jones record, songs that reference geo-politics (ôI DonÆt |
| Careö) and religion (ôI Believed in Godöùa grand, gospelized |
| finale cut from the same cloth as the early signature track ôLove |
| Is Unkindö), though they essentially serve to reiterate that |
| Danko Jones doesnÆt give a shit about either of those topics. |
| Because, ultimately, Rock and Roll Is Black and Blue is focused |
| on whoÆs inflicting the bruises: that ôConceitedö ôType of Girlö |
| with the kind of ôLegsö that force you to ôGet Upö and feel |
| ôTerrifiedö until you scream ôDonÆt Do This!ö. And thatÆs just |
| how this self-professed ôMasochistö likes it. |
