Danko Jones – Mouth To Mouth EP digital release TODAY!
2011 is coming to an end, but in true Danko Jones fashion they are not about to let it go quietly. Bad Taste Records and Danko Jones are happy to announce the release of a new digital EP, “Mouth To Mouth“, available here TODAY!
This new 5 track EP contains songs recorded during the Below The Belt sessions. Two are previously unreleased and the other three have previously been available on different versions of the Below The Belt album. As with all previous Danko Jones albums, some of these b-sides are every bit as good as the songs on the album, so this is a must have for any true Danko fan.
Following the release of this EP Danko will hit the road in Europe for 27 shows, starting on November 17:th. All shows on mainland Europe are with one of our new favorite bands, The Biters, as main support and this is the first headline tour with new drummer Atom Willard whose previous bands include Rocket From The Crypt, Social Distortion, The Offspring and Angels & Airwaves.
The EP can be purchased here: www.dankojones.com/mouth-to-mouth/ and on the same site you also have an opportunity to win tickets for all shows on the European tour.
So spread the word, mouth to mouth.

Danko Jones Spoken Word Performance at Wacken 2012
We are very happy to announce that Danko Jones will do a spoken word performance at next year’s Wacken Open Air which takes place the first weekend in August. Below are a few words from Danko about the event.
It’s been 7 years since I’ve stepped onstage to do Spoken Word. In that time I’ve wondered what there was worth speaking about. I’m stepping on the Wacken stage to talk about my one burning passion that has consumed me for my entire life. Come and listen to my confession.
Also, in case you’ve missed it, The Official Danko Jones Podcast is available for free at iTunes.
