Danko Jones gets no midlife crisis, no softening with age, no signs of self-doubt - just 11 fist-pumping jolts of sonic adrenaline with nary a ballad in sight. Rock 'n' roll ain't no luxury item. It's essential. It's the blood in our veins and the fire in our hearts. And nobody does it better than Danko Jones.

Formed in Toronto in 1996, this six-legged riff 'n' refrain machine have spent the last two decades delivering huge, jolting doses of stripped back 'n' strutting hard rock with the relentlessness of men possessed. Led by Danko himself, the closest thing the modern world has to a credible king of rock'n'roll, and now deftly supported by suave bass maestro John Calabrese and loose-limbed drum god Rich Knox, this pumped-up Canadian power trio grabbed the world's attention.
