From Blabbermouth: "After five and a half years of non-stop touring which took the band to five continents in 21 countries and 15 tours in Europe alone, DANKO JONES took a break last December to recoup, unwind, and a start writing material for the follow-up to their 2006 release "Sleep Is The Enemy". After a long process of finding the right producer, they are now stepping into Studio 606 in Los Angeles with Grammy Award winner Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, RUSH, STONE SOUR, VELVET REVOLVER) to start work on the new record, due out in early 2008. "Nick's worked on some of my favourite records of the last five years", says Danko Jones, "and we're very excited to step into the studio with a producer who has such a great track record and incredible instincts." The past five years have been a whirlwind for the band, which saw DANKO JONES play virtually every major European festival including Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Leeds, Lowlands, Roskilde, Gurten, Hultsfred, Reading and Ozzfest. In addition to non-stop touring Danko Jones also appeared on the new ANNIHILATOR album "Metal" (released in April 2007), on the track "Couple Suicide", with ARCH ENEMY singer Angela Gossow. " Can“t wait....

No disrespect to Matt Dimateo, who did a great job on the last few records, but it's good to hear they're trying out a new coach this time around. I can't wait to hear the result!

I can't wait to hear a new record, especially if it is a little influenced by foo fighter style.

I hope the influence is very minimal actually. I think the albums have all shown a progression and are just getting better and better. Danko Jones music may be open to some suggestion, but I have a feeling we won't be straying too far from what the band wants to do... which means the best record yet is upon us in early 2008!
For some reason, I am thinking a one-word title for the album, but could be mistaken of course.

Sorry, forgot to mention.... FREAKIN PUMPED ABOUT THE ALBUM!
I am going to do what I need last time I bought a Danko album... invite a few friends over, a lot of beer, and just sit, drink, and enjoy.
Cant wait!

Does anybody know if the recording sessions have actually started yet?...My adrenaline rush is flowing in anticipation already, but my wife thinks its only PMS, well I've got news for her ;D Note: I was lucky enough to attend a Sloan gig last night, right here in my home town no less, and every time i would focus on Jay Ferguson my mind would replay the good nature banter between Danko and Jay on Danko's Magical World of Rock episode "Danko vs Jay Ferguson".

There was a guess before that an early 2009 release is possible. Their Canadian tour starts in Edmonton on Sept 15th... I will try to talk with JC about it. Here's hoping they play some new songs!

My mistake... that was a TYPO on my part...
Meant to say I heard the release would be early 2008 - but nothing is confirmed. Sorry for the confusion!
