Single released 08/10/2006

Totally Bone

"This incendiary, confrontational blast of fresh noise is the debut from double-drummered Glaswegian sextet Dananananaykroyd who descibe their own blend of Eighties, U.S. hardcore, post-rock and modern Indie as Fight-Pop. The seven-inch is also the first release for Moshi Moshi's new Singles Club, and the latest in a breath-taking series of releases from the London-based Independant"
[Jon Hillcock, Music Week]

"Genius wobble-punk from the Glasgow [six-piece], with a solid gold pop heart. Like Shellac playing S Club 7 songs with the fun factor turned up to 11" [What's on the NME stereo]

""Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh", lisps lead singer Giles on 'Totally Bone' the frenetic debut single by exasperatingly named Glaswegian sextet Dananananaykroyd, while a cascade of crunching guitar riffs picket your earholes and drums eviscerate your head like a spray of bullets from an automated shotgun. Forging a new brand of stutter-rock that grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you until you puke, they turn up, trash the place, then leave with big grins on their faces. B-side 'Hey Giles' is an equally tumbling freak-out affair with its falsetto "ohs!" "Woos!" and "Boos!" richocheting about the place, while its marching drum-beats propels the juggernaut forward like a Big Punk Tank - just imagine that" [NME single review]

"Single: Dananananaykroyd Totally Bone (Moshi Moshi). They may have a tongue twisting name but this Glasgow sextet have been causing a stir with their extroadinary live shows - and thiis track is always a high-light. Their unique sound references the likes of Pavement and Shellac but their two drummered sonic asssault could well be the future" [News Of The World: Single Of The Week]

"Here's something thats hot right now, ex-hardcore (punk, not rave, dumbass) band members chilling-the-fuck out and making indie-pop. First there was super fast pop punk scousers Hot Club De Paris, now there's Glaswegian 6 piece crunch popsters Dananananaykroyd. While there's still the noise punk sentiment somewhere in the mix, largely speaking, the group which consists of ex-members of hardcore bands Multiples, Michael Dracula, Kill Yourself, Acrnym and Simplestorm, got bored of screaming and opted for a more palatable option. Every track they make sounds like the last track on an album, a snarling beat of Black Flag-inspired riffs and positive indie-pop vibing. Sounds like a total fucking shambles in print but it works when you listen to the music" [Vice Student Guide]

"This Glaswegian math-punk sextet have carved a sound on 'Totally Bone' that's a little At The Drive In, a fraction The Walkmen and, most spectacular, a whole lot early Police, which, if there is a god, will be the next big revival. It's big, it's gritty, it would be 'Single of the Week' if Sparks weren't such freaks" [Playlouder]
