The band released the EP Samples on Collagen Rock Records in 2008. Music critic John Sakamoto of the Toronto Star described their sound as "a compelling tug of war between wanting to dance and feeling that there's something else you're supposed to be doing."
Their full-length debut, Are You Afraid of the Danks? was released on June 30, 2009. Giving the album its highest rating, Chart described it as "non-stop, hook-laden revelry from start to finish." Fast Forward Weekly, in its review, wrote, "The Danks are straight-up power pop at heart and there’s simply no denying their power."
Their second LP GANK came out in June 2013, which Exclaim gave 9/10. The band has shared North American stages and basements with Ted Leo and Tokyo Police Club.
