Frank Yang Who: The Danks What: PEI four-piece who include a member of Two Hours Traffic, are touring with Two Hours Traffic and sound like a louder and rowdier Two Hours Traffic. RIYL: Two Hours Traffic. Their debut album is Are You Afraid Of The Danks and they're at Lee's Palace this Friday night with - wait for it - Two Hours Traffic. MP3: The Danks - "Die Young" [...]

The Danks share half of their members with Two Hours Traffic , so it's no coincidence that the two Charlottetown groups bear a distinct musical similarity. But while THT intersperses its upbeat rock songs with acoustic strummers and sentimental balladry, the Danks never tone down the energy. Their debut, Are You Afraid of the Danks? , is 12 tracks of unrelenting pop rock, each one delivering crunchy guitars and hummable hooks. The collection kicks off with "What We're Doing," a steadily chugging bassline anchoring an impressive display of guitar riffage that includes woozy dive-bombs [...]

It's Thursday, and that means one thing here on the hill: videos. Well, at least it does on weeks like this when we get ourselves organized and manage to compile a few of the best clips we're sent into post format. I think it's appropriate that on the week it was announced that the hill will be crashing the Polaris Prize this year and bringing some Maritime flavour to the festivities ( Ack as a Grand Jury member , myself as the Ack's Weed Carrier), that we give you an all east coast edition of Video Hits. [...]
I got my hands on this power pop band's album the other day. I gave it a listen. It's really not too bad. They're definitely inspired heavily by The Strokes but that's alright. If you're in the mood for a more crunchy power pop then toss this in. The ...

JEMINA PEARL REVEALS DEBUT LP Jemina Pearl , our favorite rioting, rambunctious, rancorous ex- Be Your Own Pet frontwoman shotgunned our faces off last week with the announcement that her debut LP sits ready and raring to rend our ears straight from our smiling mugs. We've already listened to the excellent ' Get Awkward -era' tracks posted on JP's Myspace page (the summery, subversive edge of "Ecstatic Appeal", the bouncey, shredding brain-addled boogie of "Heartbeats", and the croony, garage-rock mashup of "Nashville Shores") and with the release [...]

When I received the sample EP by The Danks a little over a year ago I admittedly wasn't too impressed. All the songs pretty much went in one ear and out the other. Therefor I wasn't too eager to give their full length debut Are You Afraid Of The Danks a listen, but still decided to give it a try. And yes, as it turned out, I liked it. Some of the songs on the album appear on the EP as well but I suppose their overall sound just didn't suit my taste at [...]
(photo: Meghan-Wyn Ferris) After a week of reading online discussions/diatribes about the state of Canadian music and its artistic merits versus commercial appeal, it's nice to put on a record like Are You Afraid of The Danks? and just give a collective middle finger to the whole damn argument. The Danks don't have time for debate, or discussions; they have no room for sentimentality or superfluous verses; their power pop is short, sharp and over too soon. The band features Brohan Moore, Phil McIsaac, Alec O'Hanley, and Andrew [...]

The Danks - Are You Afraid Of The Danks? 5 star review from Chartattack. Since the first time I saw The Danks live, I've been saying they're Canada's answer to The Strokes. Are You Afraid Of The Danks? is the proof. Put on this disc and you'll be transported back to 2001, to the first time you heard Is This It . On the first few listens, you'll be so caught up by the wave of energy that you'll [...]

NEW LISSY TRULLIE REMIX Our favorite NYC garage-rocker extraordinaire Lissy Trullie has been busy traversing these United States over the past summer, burning rubber and breaking hearts up and down our interstates, and it would seem that now that she's cozied back up in her big city apartment she can finally begin cranking out new material as she said she would in our exclusive interview . No sooner said than done as LT and crew have recently had their hit single "Boy Boy" remixed by Blunt Laser [...]

So it's only fitting that the day before Canada Day, The Danks from Charlettetown PEI drop their full length debut. Try the milk - Free MP3 - Die Young Buy the Cow - The Danks on iTunes

THE DANKS Are You Afraid of The Danks? (Release Date: 06/30/09) Driven by small-town boredom and a severe distaste for contemporary pop, the Danks deliver a fistful of excitement with the follow-through of a wrecking ball in a Beverly Hills mansion. Recorded under sweltering circumstances in a Haligonian mini-mall, the quartet pounded out, among other things, the unflinchingly [...]

Driven by small-town boredom and a severe distaste for contemporary pop, the Danks deliver a fistful of excitement with the follow-through of a wrecking ball in a Beverly Hills mansion. Recorded under sweltering circumstances in a Haligonian mini-mall, the quartet pounded out, among other things, the unflinchingly catchy ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DANKS. Recruiting Super Friendz alumni Charles Austin to man the mics and ex-Thrush Hermit bassman Ian MacGettigan to caress the faders, this anti-workaday foursome bashed out twelve no-nonsense pop blasts that barely clock in at thirty minutes. With cowboy capitalists sitting high on the Canadian bacon and [...]

Who : The Danks from Charlottetown, PEI. What : From the follow up to the Samples EP , The Danks are coming at you with Are You Afraid Of The Danks ? Am I afraid? Not really. Should I be? I've never feared really catchy pop before. Or records recorded and produced by Super Friendz alumni Charles Austin and ex-Thrush Hermit bassman Ian MacGettigan. Not yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when the album comes out June 30 on Collagen Rock . Song : Die [...]
