Info for Leo Rising

Vocals, guitars, drums, and bass: the fundamental elements of rock are what DANKO JONES, one of Canada's most successful hard and heavy metal bands, has consistently represented since their formation in 1996.

Constant radio airplay in the world's leading rock countries, the most loyal fans a band could wish for, both at festivals and their sold-out club shows, and numerous award nominations—including five Juno Award nominations (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy)—have cemented their leading role in the rock 'n' roll world throughout their career.

With their extensive catalog of eleven successful, captivating studio albums, which have garnered international chart success, DANKO JONES manages to unite not only rockers but also music lovers far beyond hard rock and punk. Their twelfth album has just been completed under the supervision of Juno and Grammy Award-winning producer Eric Ratz (BILLY TALENT, BIG SUGAR, etc.) and is scheduled for release in autumn 2025.

"I like the process: record, tour, write, repeat—I can do this until I die," grins frontman Danko Jones. He continues, "It might sound boring, but this status is incredibly difficult for a band to achieve. I don't take it lightly. Besides, it's a lesson from the MOTÖRHEAD playbook—so it works! 'Leo Rising' is another dose of uncompromising hard rock: bass, drums, guitar, vocals—no frills. Windows down and crank it up!"

John Calabrese recorded the bass tracks in Finland, Rich Knox flew to Toronto to record the drums, and Danko worked there with producer Eric Ratz on vocals and guitars. Despite the separate recording sessions, the band's chemistry is unmistakable.

The result: 100% DANKO JONES – on point, loud, and made for the stage. “Leo Rising” is likely the most electrifying and captivating album in their career – a high-speed masterpiece for packed clubs, endless highways, and everything in between.

Danko Jones
Formed in Toronto in 1996, Danko Jones have seen and done just about everything over the last quarter of a century. Powered by a DIY punk rock spirit, and inspired by the good, great and grotesque of electrified rock ‘n’ roll, they have steadily built a colossal international fan base and become one of the most acclaimed live bands around, embraced by everyone from mainstream radio-rock fans to die hard metalheads. Along the way, they have released eleven widely praised studio albums, generating a peerless repertoire of fists-in-the-air crowd-pleasers into the bargain. From the spiky blues of 2002’s Born A Lion and the crazed power-pop of its follow-up We Sweat Blood (2003), to the priapic perfection of 2010’s Below The Belt, the band’s knack for hitting rock’s sweet spot has never wavered.

Their 11th studio album “Electric Sounds” was released Sept 15 2023, including singles such as “Guess Who’s Back”, “Good Time” and “Get High?”.

Danko Jones has achieved remarkable success, earning Gold and Platinum records, securing massive syncs, and consistently charting in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Holland, and Canada. They have an impressive history of international tours and have shared the stage with legendary acts such as Guns N’ Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, The Rolling Stones, Motörhead, and more. In their latest album, both “Guess Who’s Back” and “Good Time” claimed the #1 spot on the radio charts in Germany.
