‘UnonoU’ is to be the second full release from Danava through Kemado Records.
Portland, Oregons, Four-piece Danava explain that UnonoU is a word I made up, says lead singer Dusty Sparkles. People should think for themselves [as to its deeper meaning]. I hate being specific. Its boring.
Whats not boring is much of anything about Danavas densely-packed musical ideas and unstoppable live show, which kick down the doors of genre, clique, and scene.
Although Danava (pronounced DON-UH-VUH) play the type of ferociously intense, foundation-rattling, rock and roll that might righteously justify some good old fashioned head-banging, vocalist Dusty Sparkles wants you to know that he doesnt consider his band a metal outfit.
Sparkles has as much use for genre tags as folks on the Titanic did for bottled water.
Danava reaches back to the whole of a musical history beyond metal, and fuses the results into a cohesive end result. Its hard to stand out, Sparkles confesses. What matters to us is that we can say were doing our own thing.
UnonoU is available though Kemado Records.
