Hot on the heels of re-visiting Latin American stages and announcing both a new album and a European headline tour for autumn 2025, Canadian premiere rock’n’roll three-piece DANKO JONES have released their highly anticipated single ‘What You Need’ today. The song represents the first glimpse into their new album and also marks their debut at their new label, PERCEPTION, while their partnership with Sonic Unyon Records in their home country remains unchanged.
While 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.
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!”

‘What You Need’ was crafted with long-time partners — Grammy and Juno award-winning producer/mixing engineer Eric Ratz (BILLY TALENT, BIG SUGAR, CANCER BATS etc.) and Grammy winning mastering expert Harry Hess (Hbomb Mastering) — and arrives in time for the trio’s first 2025 European show, which will see them take the Paaspop stage in Schijndel, Netherlands in two weeks. Adam Mallett, another well-known face in the DANKO JONES universe, contributed contemporary single artwork which is additionally displayed on the “Danko Jones Is What You Need” tour admat and on the mural in the lyric video that can be found in the live music venue Bridgeworks in Hamilton, ON in Canada.
