Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone!

Probably one of the most amusing and entertaining live bands to come around for a while, Scottish six piece Dananananaykroyd, who take their name from the actor of the same uh… name, released their debut full length in April on Best Before (records). There’s already been shit loads of reviews, hype, and stuff about this already so to be honest it’s difficult to think of something to say that hasn’t been said already over and over and over and over.

It’s an unrelenting punk rock attack at times evolving into early 90’s grunge, and peppered with sassy hardcore influences drawing comparisons to The Blood Brothers. To be honest, that’s why I got into them, coz I loved The Blood Brothers.
The whole album is so full of fizzy hyperactivitity it’s impossible not to enjoy yourself listening to it, however underneath all of the fun and fucking around there exists a much experienced and intellectual voice pitching this miles and miles away from just another party album by the likes of, oh say, Andrew W.K. Also the rehashing and re-recording of earlier songs like ‘Pink Sabbath’, ‘The Greater than Symbol…’ and ‘1993’ all sound so polished and perfected it’s amazing. I think this was in my car stereo for about 2 weeks…

This record is just awesome, basically.

Favourite Songs: The Greater Than Symbol & The Hash, Totally Bone, One Chance, 1993
