About

Danko Jones is a Canadian hard rock trio from Toronto, active since 1996, built around vocalist and guitarist Danko Jones, bassist John Calabrese and drummer Rich Knox. Over twelve studio albums they have carved out a loyal following across Europe - particularly in Germany, Switzerland and Scandinavia - driven by relentless touring and a raw, no-frills sound rooted in hard rock and garage punk. Their 2025 album 'Leo Rising', produced by Eric Ratz, is their twelfth studio record and follows the chart-hitting 'Electric Sounds' (2023), which reached #18 in Germany.
