Toronto’s hardest-working power trio, DANKO JONES, roar back with Leo Rising, an eleven-track masterclass in sweat-soaked, no-nonsense rock ’n’ roll. Produced to red-hot perfection by longtime collaborator Eric Ratz, the album drops on November 21, 2025, via Perception – A division of Reigning Phoenix Music and Sonic Unyon (for Canada).
Following the rabid reception to the opening salvo What You Need and the party-starting anthem Everyday Is Saturday Night, Leo Rising turns the dial past eleven with razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and fist-pumping hooks. Guitar legend Marty Friedman (MEGADETH, CACOPHONY) makes a blistering guest appearance on the future single Diamond in the Rough, while other standouts – from the priapic swagger of Hot Fox to the roof-rattling It’s a Celebration – prove DANKO JONES are keeping rock alive by doing it better than anyone else.
