Danko Jones are back with a vengeance, unleashing their dynamic new single, "What You Need," via Sonic Unyon Records, accompanied by a vibrant visualizer.
This electrifying track marks the first taste of their upcoming 12th studio album, and while fans will have to wait a bit longer for the full reveal, “What You Need” serves up an unapologetic blast of raw energy and rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The song’s message is clear and direct: "If you want it, you got it, we’re gonna give you WHAT YOU NEED!"
It's a sentiment that's impossible to ignore, driven by contagious guitar riffs and explosive rhythms. As the track builds, it propels into an immersive chorus that is bound to become a live staple for years to come. The song encapsulates a craving for something deeper, something more significant than just the surface—an anthem urging listeners to chase that longing without hesitation.
Danko adds: “'What You Need' is not only the first single off our new album, it’s also the opening cut to it. It’s loud, fast, and infectious. Turn this up until the volume knob breaks or your ceiling caves in!”

"What You Need" is the perfect high-octane anthem for fans who crave the pure, unfiltered energy of rock. With Danko’s signature hard-hitting sound front and centre, the track pulses with gritty intensity—cranked guitars that demand you turn the volume up, a bassline that hits like a punch in the chest, and drums that drive the song forward with relentless momentum. The lyrics tap into the insatiable hunger for a rock experience that is as loud and immersive as it is unforgettable.
Every time someone announces the death of rock ‘n’ roll, Canada’s most incendiary power trio roll with the punches and keep rocking with maximum commitment to the cause. Danko Jones are a three-piece rock ‘n’ roll band from Toronto. They never sleep. They sweat blood. And they are keeping rock alive by doing it better than anyone else.
On duty since 1996, these unstoppable road-hogs have devoted their lives to rousing the people with blistering, no-bullshit, all-action rock. They have rallied a global army of rock-hungry fans, and blown them away with a steady stream of explosive, anthem-packed albums and an absurd number of live shows. From early underground smashes like We Sweat Blood (2003) and Sleep Is The Enemy (2006), to the band’s recent, triumphant triumvirate of A Rock Supreme (2019), Power Trio (2021), and Electric Sounds (2023), Danko Jones have been a relentless force for rock ‘n’ roll good, both in the studio and on the road. And they have absolutely no intention of stopping.
“You know what? I like the routine of recording, touring, writing, and repeat,” states singer/guitarist, Danko Jones himself. “I can do that till I’m dead! It may sound boring, but it’s so hard for a band to achieve. I don’t take this lightly. Also, it’s a page out of the MOTÖRHEAD handbook so it works! Since Electric Sounds, we’ve been touring and touring. We managed to play in Mexico and Greece for the first time, and we even played Prince Edward Island, a province in Canada we’d never been to before. Other than that, it’s been a life of gigs and writing more songs to play more gigs!”
Proving that their time was well-spent, Danko, bassist John Calabrese, and drummer Rich Knox have conjured yet another blazing banquet of nourishing rock goodness on their 12th studio record, due for release later this year.
