Twelve years ago, Danko Jones was a hungry lion trying to break free of Toronto's stagnant indie-rock scene. Today, he's a well-fed beast who routinely shares arena stages with the likes of Axl Rose and Lemmy Kilmister. He's a top charting artist in Europe. And he's accomplished all that by staying true to a simple credo: don't fuck with the formula - in this case, Danko's Thick Lizzy riffs, JC's bruising, post-hardcore basslines and drummer Dan Cornelius' craterous stomp, which form the swaggering soundtrack to Danko's inimitable, unflinching dispatches from the frontlines of the war of the sexes. So, here we are: 'Below the Belt' - the place where the best rock 'n' roll comes from, and the place where these 11 songs hit you. But as much as 'Below the Belt' captures the sound of classic Danko Jones, it marks an evolution as well. This is pure Hard Rock.
