Release Notes
This Glasgow-formed sextet made a sizeable impact back in 2008, despite a career plan that bordered on self-sabotage. First they picked one of the most difficult-to-spell band names in rock history Dan Aykroyd was one of the worlds most misspelled actors already then developed a live show so raucous that injuries regularly resulted. Their original singer actually cut his eye during the first song of their first ever gig
Capturing such a riotous ethos on record can be difficult, but their 2009 debut album, Hey Everyone, came impressively close with its relentless onslaught of speedy-fingered riffs and good-natured shouting. For the follow-up the fun-loving Scots decamped to the famously chilled-out shores of Venice Beach, California. You might expect the mania to have calmed somewhat as a result, but while there are moments of quiet reflection here, generally speaking There Is a Way contains even more youthful larks than its predecessor
The major achievement of this record produced by Slipknot desk-jockey Ross Robinson is the broadening of Dananananaykroyds sound, prising it clear of the numerous shouty young bands to have followed their lead. Sometimes this is rather off-putting several tracks veer worryingly close to US-style skate-punk, notably the single Muscle Memory. But a distinctive Glasgow burr is pleasingly prominent, particularly when they slow everything down for a few fleeting seconds
The standout track, an exhaustingly intense epic called E Numbers, benefits hugely from a quietly-sung interlude which was presumably inserted to prevent the band spontaneously combusting while playing it live. There are further welcome changes of pace throughout the album: a low-key intro here, a spooky echo effect there, and a couple of tracks that differ markedly from the usual template
Apostrophe borders on anthemic soft-rock in places, albeit with a less-than-radio-friendly refrain about a spiders corpse thats carried away by ants". And Think and Feel features an almost Kaiser Chiefs-like chant-along section a very apt "dananana-nana" then, of all things, a sax break. That may bewilder some devotees of the bands previous work but the chorus is classic Dananananaykroyd: "I get bored, so I go outside / For a bee-er For a bee-er
You can take the band out of Glasgow, but you cant take away their pints
This is the Deluxe Edition that comes in a nice cardboard gatefold case with a poster and a bonus CD with 5 extra tracks. Pick it up on Monday, enjoy
