"Razor & Tie has always strived to be at the forefront of new trends in the media," commented Michael Krumper, SVP Marketing at the label. "By distributing podcasts by our acts, it gives them yet another avenue of self-expression that can connect with new fans in an immediate and unfiltered way."

The first podcast, entitled "The Danko Jones Road Report" is 6-minute audio program recorded by Danko Jones, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of the Toronto-based power rock trio of the same name, and offers an unedited look inside the Pandora's Box of a rock band on tour. Similar to the syndicated radio show that Danko hosts in Europe (www.themagicalworldofrock.com), the singer holds forth on his favorite topic – rock’n’roll. The singer’s encyclopedic knowledge of rock music and the many high-profile musicians who drop by their gigs are showcased in the first of this upcoming series of podcasts.

"I liken these podcasts to a phone call home to a friend answering their questions of "what’s up?" and "how's the tour going?," Danko Jones comments. "Pretty intimate, me in my hotel room after a gig."

Danko Jones debut US album, WE SWEAT BLOOD, was released in April, 2005 and the lead radio track, LOVERCALL is currently #1 on FMQB’s Specialty Charts and was just added to WYSP, the largest active rock station on the East Coast. As the title of the album suggests, this band is dedicated to performing live – they are currently on the road with Mando Diao and after a short break in June, the band will be back on another full tour of the U.S. starting July 5th.
