"Though he’s big in Europe, Danko Jones plays small indie clubs in the U.S., where the crowds often don’t get his brand of hard rock. Perhaps that will change with his hook-laden new album, Never Too Loud (Sept. 8), recorded at Dave Grohl’s studio in L.A. But Jones won’t pander. 'I know my Slint and my Sonic Youth just like the next guy,' he says. 'But I also like Motörhead and Slayer, and I’ll shove it down their goddamned throats, if I have to'" (Hugo Lindgren, "Pop: Eat My Metal," New York, 8/31-9/7/09, p. 78).
