Dananananaykroyd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dananananaykroyd are a Glasgow, Scotland based six-piece rock band featuring former (and current) members of many other Glasgow-based bands, including The Boy Cartographer, Hector Collectors, Multiplies, Simplestorm, Michael Dracula, Acrnym, Findo Gask and Errors. They are notable for featuring two drummers (playing in unison), and create a brand of rock music they have dubbed 'fight-pop', in reference to its aggressive yet melodic leanings.
