Following the September 2023 release of their acclaimed, eleventh studio album, Electric Sounds on AFM Records, the undisputed kings of balls-out rock’n’roll DANKO JONES have unleashed the high-voltage, new track “Waiting For You“.
Frontman Danko Jones comments: “We cooked up this new ditty, Waiting For You, just to add to the colossal rock that is Electric Sounds. Think of it as a little something from us to you.”
This previously unreleased song is a bonus track taken off the upcoming DANKO JONES Electric Sounds Deluxe Version, slated for digital release on April 12, 2024. In addition, the digital deluxe edition of the album will include a second bonus track, “Haunting Me”, as well as the album’s original 11 tracks.
On the same day, DANKO JONES will also release a limited, 10” vinyl edition titled 4×10, that consists of both bonus tracks and a further two unreleased live songs.

On the release of Electric Sounds, DANKO JONES stormed international album charts (Sweden #12, Germany #18, Switzerland #24). Following consecutive top radio chart entries with hit singles “Good Time“, “Guess Who’s Back” and “Get High?“, the group ruled the German Rock Radio Charts in the phenomenal #1 slot. On their ensuing, European album release tour, DANKO JONES promptly sold out numerous shows.

Without any doubt, Electric Sounds has the instant sound and feel of a classic. From the chest-out chutzpah of the opening “Guess Who’s Back” and the muscular new wave strut of “Good Time“, the ultimate pothead anthem “Get High?” to the title track’s promise to “smash a thousand guitars tonight!” and “Stiff Competition“’s angular, cock-eyed stomp and juddering bull’s-eye of chorus, Electric Sounds is a deceptively diverse affair.
No band has ever sounded more ready to hit the road than the pumped-up threesome showcased on hell-for-leather ragers like “Eye For An Eye“, “What Goes Around” and mad-eyed and murderous closer “Shake Your City“.
Electric Sounds was produced by Eric Ratz. Guest spots from Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies) on “She’s My Baby“, Damian Abraham of Fucked Up on “Get High?” and guitarist Daniel Dekay(from Canadian thrash legends Exciter) on “Electric Sounds” complete the picture with a snotty flourish.
With the deluxe version of Electric Sounds as well as the “4×10” vinyl edition, DANKO JONES present their fans with some collectable highlights featuring previously unreleased bonus material, showcasing their amplitude of song-writing skills, an irrepressible energy, and a damn good time!
Formed in Toronto, Canada 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 diehard metalheads. Along the way, they have released ten 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. Over the last decade, DANKO JONES have visibly moved up a few gears. Since frontman Danko and bassist JC joined forced with drummer Rich Knox, the band’s creative fire has blazed more brightly than ever.
A succession of all-killer, no-filler albums – Fire Music, Wild Cat, A Rock Supreme, Power Trio – has led to even more gung-ho touring and unapologetic service to the rock cause, with their live chops cleaved razor sharp on stints with Guns N Roses, Motörhead, and Volbeat as well as opening up for icons like The Rolling Stones and Ozzy Osbourne. The UK bore early witness to blistering eleventh album Electric Sounds via a visit in early 2023 alongside rock disciples Black Stone Cherry and The Darkness, and winter headline dates.
With Electric Sounds, DANKO JONES reaffirm exactly why they’re so beloved in the global rock community all over again.
DANKO JONES is: Danko Jones – Vocals/Guitar, John Calabrese – Bass, and Rich Knox – Drums.
