Scottish four-piece Danko draw on a diverse palette.
Listening to their music, we can hear vintage Americana, with those interweaving vocals nodding towards the greats.
Yet that soulful, country blues sound is entirely their own, a brew of outsider influences transformed into something whole.
Distiller Records have swooped for their signature, with debut single ‘Rattlesnake’ firmly putting Danko on the map.
There’s a lot more to come, too, with the Scottish band sharing new single ‘Be Fooled’.
Pointed and punchy, it’s reminiscent of Alabama Shakes or (early) Kings Of Leon; as they put it, ‘Be Fooled’ is a song about “carving your own path, rather than just bending to fit in…”
The glitzy video finds these small-town dreamers reaching for the stars, rolling back the years to the halcyon days of the 70s roller disco.
Performing in the rink while a security guard snoozes in his office, it finds Danko reaching for the stars.
Tune in now.
‘Be Fooled’ is out now.
