Dananananaykroyd - There Is A Way

(Pizza College)

Award five stars or have them sectioned? It’s often a fine line, but a world without Dananananaykroyd’s glorious lunacy would be a sad place indeed. The Glasgow six-some have excelled themselves with There Is A Way; an incredibly smart rock record driven by their trademark tireless energy and bounce-inducing joy.

Attacking riffs and rhythms race along throughout, while dual vocalists Calum Gunn and John Baillie Jnr do their damnedest to outdo each other in the shriek, squeal and yelp department. And in the process of pushing their sound to the extreme – with legendary producer Ross Robinson teasing out some truly thrilling musicianship and eccentricity – this sophomore offering finds Dananan in a league of their own.
