Danko Jones is a three-piece hard rock band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Formed in 1996, they have released five studio albums, the latest being Below the Belt. The band is named after its bandleader Danko Jones on vocals/guitar, JC (also known as John Calabrese) on bass guitar, and Dan Cornelius on drums.

Formation

Formed in 1996, they played consistently for two years in and around the north-eastern United States and Canada, opening for The New Bomb Turks, Nashville Pussy, Blonde Redhead, The Make-Up, The Dirtbombs, The Chrome Cranks and The Demolition Doll Rods. Originally they didn’t even want to release an album opting to have the band’s live reputation spread via word of mouth. Eventually, the trio relented and put out a self-titled six song e.p. on Sonic Unyon records in 1998. In 1999 they released the self-produced My Love Is Bold E.P. and achieved national exposure with the single “Bounce”. They were nominated for a Juno in 2000 for Best Alternative Album.

In 2001 Bad Taste Records released a compilation of the band’s early recordings, demos, and b-sides entitled, I’m Alive and on Fire. A 5 week European tour followed to promote the release including shows at the Roskilde festival in Denmark and Hultsfred festival in Sweden. By the end of the year they had returned 2 more times, most notably as main support for the Backyard Babies.

Born A Lion

In 2002 they released their first full-length album, Born a Lion, produced by Bill Bell, on Bad Taste Records in Europe and on Universal in Canada.
