There Is A Way goes down like a razor gilded pill.»

first few copies come with a free bonus cd - 'live in london'. dananananaykroyd release their brand new, second album, 'there is a way' through their very own record label, pizza college. recorded, produced and mixed by ross robinson (at the drive-in, slipknot, blood brothers, klaxons) at his house on venice beach, ca, the album sees the scottish 6 piece fly back into the public's conscious. a bit of background on dananananaykroyd: forming in glasgow in 2006, the band put out a couple of singles for a couple of labels, which did pretty well - 'pretty well' in this instance amounting to a little blog-swell and some pricked ears from savvy rock critics. then, a strike that was felt wider, deeper: 'sissy hits', a six-tracker picked up by holy roar in 2008 and awarded top marks from 'zines that couldn't contain their excitement for their infectious melodies, holler-along dual vocals and ferocious punk energy. 'sissy hits' was scrappy, messy, bruised and bloody brilliant. the band's debut album proper, 'hey everyone!' followed in 2009 - off its back, heavy touring, supports across uk and europe with foals, big sets at last years reading and leeds festivals and even further acclaim. and not just for the band's incredible live show anymore. they were beginning to find proper studio feet, and the right shoes to wear to recording. 'there is a way' sees the band get set to take on the world.
