When I received the sample EP by The Danks a little over a year ago I admittedly wasn’t too impressed. All the songs pretty much went in one ear and out the other. Therefor I wasn’t too eager to give their full length debut Are You Afraid Of The Danks a listen, but still decided to give it a try. And yes, as it turned out, I liked it.

Some of the songs on the album appear on the EP as well but I suppose their overall sound just didn’t suit my taste at the time back then. They’re still pretty much just a another rock band but there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you have good tunes. The Danks aren’t revolutionary in other words, but still enjoyable which I’m guessing was their goal to begin with.

And no, I’m not afraid of them and neither should you be. You’d risk missing out on a good album otherwise.
