Sleep Is the Enemy, the third studio album from Toronto's Danko Jones, arrived on Aquarius Records in February 2006, hitting Europe on the 17th and Canada on the 21st before reaching the US on May 23. The man himself sings and plays guitar, with John Calabrese on bass, and the pair do what they do best: lean, loud hard rock with a punk kick and a ton of swagger.
The riffs are tight enough to snap and the vocals come with a leer and a wink. "First Date" is the calling card. The songs traveled, too: "She's Drugs" turned up in the Swedish vampire film Frostbiten, and "Baby Hates Me" became the theme song for WWE Backlash. For a band known for tearing up stages night after night, it's about as close to the live experience as a studio record gets.
