The Dananas are fantastic live, full of energy and charm, rhythm and loudness. However, having enjoyed them so much live, I was worried about how this would translate to recording. Some vibrant live bands just sound shouty when in the studio.
This, however, is a very clever rendering of their music into a digestable recorded version. Still lively. Still fresh. But the harsh edges that work so well live have been sensibly taken down a notch, and the lyrical elements pushed forward.
Excellent and new. In any sane world, this would be the sound of 2009.

Picking up where early singles 'Totally Bone' and EP 'Sissy Hits' left off, Hey Everyone is a long player of more-of-the-same, high-octane, well-conceived-and-executed, garagy, DIY indie-rock.The stress is on DIY and rock. The LP houses the majority of 'Sissy Hits' and adds seven new numbers to the party to justify your cash. And it is a party. The listener is never under the impression that these improbably named upstarts are doing anything other than enjoying themselves. The sound is never laboured, nor hackneyed. They are unto themselves, and all the more glorious because of it.
Album opener 'Watch This!' is gleefully shouty and crashing, 'The Greater Than Symbol And The Hash' is a tongue-in-cheek experiment in restraint until it breaks into frenetic shredding amid a break-neck tempo change. 'Totally Bone' is still tight and fresh, surpassing anyone's RDA for feedback within the first minute. Their two drummers frequently bring the noise. Production duty has been given to Machine, he of Lamb Of God twiddling, and it shows. There is so much energy in here that the album practically comes with a circle pit thrown in.
It's difficult to make comparison, perhaps maybe there could be something in condensing Les Savy Fav's live show onto disk, and replacing Tim Harrington with some sugar-rush adolescent? At times they recall art brat ensembles such as Be Your Own Pet or Help She Can't Swim. The former are too bubblegumly smug for useful comparison however and the latter too esoteric. Dananananaykroyd are fairly one off in today's market. And in so much as that oxymoron works, so do they. Hey Everyone announces their arrival in some style and like the prize fighters on the cover of Sissy Hits, there is not an ounce of flab on it.

At last, it's here ! The debut album from the Glaswegian unpronouncables' is here, and it's as brilliant as the wonderful Sissy Hits EP.
Dananana make some riotous indie tunes braced with some of the heaviest riffs this side of hardcore punk. The songs are fast, frenetic and fierce, barely slowing down for breath throughout.
This album has some ridiculously addictive songs like "Totally Bone" & "Black Wax". It's also one of the most fun albums I've ever had the joy to listen to, the riffs just leave a smile all over your face.

Hey!!
Loads of energy which is somehow contained for CD copy. By the time I went to go see them live it was after all the accidents they had so they instead told us to calm down a bit... Read more

Wierdly Enjoyable
The mix between shouting, untuneful solos and lighter rock shouldn't mix, and indeed to my personal taste, shouting doesn't, however this is a fantastic album. Read more
