Today, Canadian rock powerhouse Danko Jones are back with a bang, unveiling their dynamic new single, “What You Need”, out now via Sonic Unyon Records along with a vibrant visualizer.
The song represents the first glimpse into their new album, however fans still have to be a little bit more patient before finding out more about the forthcoming album, the new track delivers a message that is straight to the point: “If you want it, you got it, we’re gonna give you WHAT YOU NEED!” Who could possibly say no to that?! Contagious guitar riffing introduces the single before the rest of the band jumpstarts ‘What You Need’ leading into its immersive chorus, making it an undeniable future live classic. The song echoes the desire for something bigger, something beyond the surface, urging listeners to embrace that craving without hesitation. It’s a defiant, unapologetic blast of energy that refuses to be ignored, a fitting testament to Danko Jones’ signature blend of raucous power and gritty authenticity.
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!”

Danko Jones’ new single, “What You Need,” is a high-octane anthem for anyone addicted to the raw, unfiltered energy of rock ‘n’ roll. The track pulses with a powerful, gritty intensity that fans of the band will immediately recognize. Danko’s unmistakable hard-hitting sound is front and center—cranked guitars that almost demand you turn the volume up, a bass that hits like a punch in the chest, and drums that propel the song forward like a freight train. The lyrics dive deep into the insatiable hunger for the kind of rock experience that’s as loud as it is immersive.
ABOUT DANKO JONES
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 Joneshimself. “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.
