One thing I really luv about Danko Jones is that they have heart! These cold faceless bands will never thrive in the face of adversity and come out on top. Danko Jones has been rawkin it out since '96 and only recently is getting their dues here in Canada. And they will continue to thrive because of the passion that comes out of their music. Every single time I go to a show, I am consistently blown away. There's Damon beating the $h!t out of thos drums, JC laying in his bass riffs in that "U are going to feel this" pose and Danko, roaring and playing that guitar as if it was on fire. I have never seen a show where they got on stage and said "Hey people, we are going to do a mediocre show tonight because we're jet-lagged." No they came to rawk and that's exactly what they do! Even here in Toronto where they don't get enough luv, they still play their dang lil hearts out. And I go and give them as much support as I can in the way of jumping up and down like a maniac, screaming till my voice is hoarse and clapping till my hands hurt. The music just gets to me in a way nothing else I listen to does, and it's very weird because I grew up listening to Hip Hop. Perhaps some would say that undermines my credibility as a fan, but really I think it's amazing that their music can cross barriers. I can accept them for what they really are: An amazing band with amazing music. I hope they continue RAWKING for years to come!
