DANKO JONES was touring Europe to support their 12th studio long player ‘Leo Rising’. A triumphant journey through the venues of the continent, and most places have been sold out. This was true for the Mannheim gig as well, a fully packed concert hall and eagerly anticipating crowd were the perfect ingredients for a memorable night and the classic rock of support Tuk Smith and The Restless Hearts was a perfect tastemaker to get things going!

Support came from their countrymates of Grace Cummings.

Interviews

Ahead of their European shows and the release of their latest, and fifth, album ‘Vol. 5’, we sat down with Tommi and Topi from Finnish rock band The Empire Strikes to talk evolution, gear they haven’t touched in a decade, humour as survival, and the joy of making music that simply feels like them.

A highly entertaining talk with a fun-loving bunch of people who found each other in looking for a “backdoor solution” for everything… not to be taken too seriously except for their music!

These guys are in for a riot…

Album Reviews

If you’ve ever asked “Who the f** is Danko Jones?”, their 12th album answers loud and clear. ‘Leo Rising’ brings back the swagger, the attitude, and the punch. Classic Danko: raw, catchy, dirty rock ’n’ roll with zero apologies. Out next week Friday November 21st via Perception!

A dirty and intense kiss at an afterparty, that’s what ‘Rubbery Lips’ by Hot Breath sounds like!

One of the still living rock legends graces us with a new release!
