Danko Jones

Formed in 1996, Toronto trio Danko Jones is made up of Danko Jones on guitar/vocals, John “JC” Calabrese on bass and Rich Knox on drums.

During the first five years, the band garnered a reputation for their incendiary live shows while releasing singles and eps. They toured with The New Bomb Turks, The Make-Up, The Cold Cold Hearts and Blonde Redhead while playing notable shows with Nashville Pussy, Bratmobile, The Hellacopters, The Dirtbombs and Beck. The band has since toured Europe with The Backyard Babies, Turbonegro, Motorhead and Guns N’ Roses. Touring has taken them to 36 countries on 6 continents.

Their 10th studio album “Power Trio” was released in August 2021, including singles such as “I Want Out” which ranked #1 in the German Rock Radio Charts & “Start the Show” with lyrics inspired by the lockdown. The band has also released 3 compilation albums, 2 live albums and made over 30 music videos and guested on Volbeat’s “Black Rose” which hit #1 on billboard Active Rock Radio charts in America.

A quarter of a century without attaching importance to trends and fashions Danko Jones are something of a registered trademark.
