[imgr_h=355]#images#/posts/2010/05/dankojones0.jpg[/imgr_h]Honestly, nowadays, what’s more rock’n’roll than Danko Jones? Airbourne? Nice try, but too close to AC/DC, and therefore too conformist. The henhouse Buckethead demanded be built during the recording sessions for Chinese Democracy, and which was, or so the legend says, brought down by Axl Rose’s wolf? Too weird. French deputy Patrick Roy, who made a habit of speaking of hard rock in front of his peers? Too well-dressed. Giant turtles laying eggs in Guyana? Errrr… No, nothing’s more rock’n’roll than the madman Danko Jones when he treads the boards.

Speaking of which, the man releases a his new album this year, Below The Belt. Danko’s back in all his glory, after a Never Too Loud that was quite nice but showed far too much restraint for the fans, who wanted only one thing: to hear some rock! And with this new record, it’s very likely they found the best recipe: hard heavy music with perfect melodic choruses and vocal lines that have never been so rich before. Below The Belt is a mine for hard rock hits.

We wanted to know more about Danko Jones, the character (you could almost say the comedian), the band, but also about Below The Belt, an album with a nice future. To answer our questions, we interviewed John Calabrese, Danko’s bassist and friend, the man who puts some depth in all this craziness. [url=#article#]Or maybe not…[/url]
