Danko Jones have set an October 9, 2012 release date for their new album, Rock And Roll is Black and Blue.The album was produced Matt DeMatteo and was mixed by Mike Fraser, known for his work with AC/DC, Aerosmith, Franz Ferdinand and Elvis Costello to name a few. It is also the first album recorded with "new" drummer Atom Willard (Offspring, Social Distortion and Angels & Airwaves), who is the sixth person in Danko Jones history to hold the "drummer" title.
The first single – "Just A Beautiful Day" – will be serviced to radio all over the world soon.
The new album follows the June release of Bring On The Mountain – a two disc DVD featuring a 90 minute documentary, a short film, exclusive live clips from around the world and all the music videos they have ever done.
A lengthy European tour scheduled for October / November was announced during spring and with ticket sales already looking great we expect most shows to be sold out well before the doors open. Tour dates in Canada, US and Australia will be announced soon with more European touring and a busy festival summer in 2013 also on the horizon.
