Bands to Care About: DANANANANAYKROYD

When a band thinks it’s a good idea to chant their name in the opening song of their debut album, does anyone think something good will come out of it? Is there a band meeting deciding that it’s a good idea to yell their name out to who’s listening. Band names are after thoughts, created usually just so the clubs have something to list them as. However I doubt there are few bands namest better suited for a band since the Butthole Surfers. Any fan of Los Campesinos! will be crawling on the floor for their latest worship. DANANANANAYKROYD mash perfectly with Los Campesinos! right down to the yelps of the band in unison and the self loathing lyrics. Don’t cry Camepsino clone yet, however. Danana is more bent on the sound than the lyrics, incorporating twin drummers and two singers into the mix. The best way to understand Danana’s sound is three-fourths Los Campesinos! with an added cup of hardcore/screamo. Normally, this is a recipe for disaster. However, due to having great taste in music and not wanting to be corporate slime, the sound (self dubbed "fight pop") they make is actually creative and dare I say (gasp!) fun.
