Its pronounced Dana -nana -naykroyd...

Dananananaykroyd have two drummers. Two. This automatically makes them pretty damn exciting in my book. But there is much more to this band than just their number of members and unusual name. The music is (unsurprisingly) loud and fast and raw. It is aggressive but not angry, unpretentious but not bland. With shouty vocals, crushing guitar sounds and relentless beats, it is music to uninhibitedly jump around to. It demands to be played at maximum volume to a room crammed with sweaty people ready to go nuts from the very first note. And the Danannananaykroyd live show does not disappoint. This is a band that is explosive on stage and importantly, seem to enjoy every minute of it. Their energy and sense of fun is as infectious as their tunes. Because of this I was instantly converted into a fully fledged fan after seeing them perform, despite having no real prior knowledge of their music.



I finally managed to get my hands on their 'Japan only' release EP (cue much school girl like excitement) and 'Some Dresses' is the track that I keep playing over and over - check it out if you like shout-a-long intros and songs that seem to implode and then rebuild themselves in their duration. And did I mention they have TWO drummers? What's not to love?!
