The Danks have been recieved a glowing review from the site "PopMatters"... here is a little exceprt: "To call the 12 tracks on Are You Afraid of the Danks?, the band’s debut full-length, as catchy would serve as a gross understatement. These sharp and precisely crafted tracks are cut as lean as a middle-distance runner; yet each two-minute gem maintains the intensity and muscle of a sprint to the finish line... the quartet’s true sonic resonance is most certainly in the blistering, immediate impact of Are You Afraid of the Danks?. Do your best to keep your eyes on these guys." Read the entire review here.
A new video has been released for "Planet Beach". Check it out below:
The fellas have gotten some pretty sweet reviews thus far for the album, check out this great excerpt from ChartAttack:
"Since the first time I saw The Danks live, I've been saying they're Canada's answer to The Strokes. Are You Afraid Of The Danks? is the proof. Put on this disc and you'll be transported back to 2001, to the first time you heard Is This It...
On the first few listens, you'll be so caught up by the wave of energy that you'll barely notice there are vocals accompanying the music. By the time the lyrics start to take form — and they eventually do poke through — you'll be inexplicably addicted to the pace...
Are You Afraid Of The Danks? is non-stop, hook-laden revelry from start to finish. It's the first indisputable pop hit of the summer — a must for every road trip." Click here to read the entire review from ChartAttack.
