As previously reported, DANKO JONES' video for the track "First Date" has been posted online at this location. The song is the first U.S. single off the group's upcoming CD, "Sleep is the Enemy", due on May 23 via Razor & Tie.

"Sleep Is the Enemy" was produced and engineered by Matt DeMatteo at Record High Productions in Toronto and was mixed by Vic Florencia at Phase One Studios in Toronto. Mastering duties were handled by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York (Ted's previous work includes GREEN DAY's "American Idiot" and R.E.M.'s "Around The Sun"). Artwork was created by WalseCustomDesign.com.

"Sleep Is the Enemy" (which was released in Europe in February via Bad Taste Records) is already finding a welcome audience in U.S. rock, metal, and punk fans alike. WWE picked up "Baby Hates Me" as the theme song of "Backlash", a huge pay-per-view event airing April 30 and the band will appear as Fuse TV's "Just For the F of It" Band of the Month in May.
