The coolest sow the rock business strikes again!

Never Too Loud, the last studio album by Canadian power trio Danko Jones joined in the ranks of his fans all over open arms. Because when it was not "loud" enough. The stadium rock touch was labeled as something rather too lax and too smooth. It was an objective but a pretty good record. But the latest slice Below the Belt should unlock all their ears. Because here is again geholzt rougher and snappy. Instead the unloved Nick Raskulinecz now took again Matt DeMatteo behind the mixing desk space that turned even the two hit albums Sleep Is The Enemy and We sweat blood to the knobs.

So a little look back and go on towards rock Olympus! There, the winking loudmouth Danko Jones and his hard-pumping rhythm machine John Calabrese and Damon Richardson finally heard back. Or is it? Anyway, with a high of Below the Belt back the hunger of young garage band from Toronto by which it used to be. "The Sore Loser", "I wanna break up with you", "I think bad thoughts" or "Tonight is fine" are again so irresistible and Dirty Rocker, as we know and expect from this band. 1, 2, 3, 4 and fully to the Twelve. Just as the blues-punk of "Apology accepted" and "Magic snake".

They are joined by "Active Volcanoes" and "Like dynamite" two loosely swinging titles that are already bidding and heavy grooving Classic Rock at its best. Against right grip is the straighte "(I can not handle) Moderation", which has an equally ohrwürmelnden chorus, like the end of "Had Enough", which will certainly provide singalongs on the next Danko Jones shows. The single "Full of Regret" belongs almost to the weaker tracks of the new plant. But anyway, the song presents the album quite well.

If you want it, is Below the Belt something like a direct continuation of the two breakthrough albums of the years 2003 and 2006. If you have always on the slippery and testosterone-charged power rock trio, and his references and direction of punk and garage, stand, may access so with a clear conscience again. All other: quickly check it out!
