Intro (Edit)
Danger Danger was a band of handsome hard rockers that made pop friendly metal similar in style to Bon Jovi. The band had minor success, but like several other groups of this era, just never seemed to be able to push themselves over the top.
Bruno Ravel (bass), Steve West (drums) and Kasey Smith (keyboards) formed Danger Danger in New York the late 80’s. The band recorded demos, but it wasn’t until the addition of vocalist Ted Poley that the music industry began to recognize the group. They began recording the self-titled debut with Saraya guitarist Tony Bruno before Andy Timmons joined the band and finished the remaining guitar tracks. The record would prove to be Danger Danger’s most successful, as it included the Top 50 single “Bang Bang”. Screw It!, which would turn out to be less successful then the debut, saw more of an emphasis on Timmons’ guitar work and less on Smith’s keyboards, and as a result he left the band before work on the third album began.
Cockroach was recorded in late ‘93, but right around its release date the band surprisingly fired Poley. This resulted in a string of lengthy legal battles and halted the release of the album. New front man Paul Laine rerecorded all the vocals, however the album never got released until 2001, due to the record company also being involved in these lawsuits. Frustrated with the recent occurrences, Timmons left the band. Now a power trio (Ravel took over on guitar and keyboards), the band released the Dawn album. It had incorporated an updated sound and was a lot different then the classic D2 sound.
History (Edit)
Four The Hard Way saw the return of Timmons and Smith as guest musicians and a return to the sounds of old. The band continued to record and tour as a three piece, while Poley fronted Melodica and Timmons concentrated on a solo career. But by 2004, after an eleven year absence, Poley returned to the fold and Laine concentrated on his side project Shugaazer.
2009 saw the band deliver new studio material in the form of Revolve, featuring 3/4 of the original line-up and Rob Marchello taking over guitar duties. A band that had all the ingredients needed to be a late 80’s smash, but somehow never quite made it.

In the early days, Danger Danger used to gaffa out the brands of their amps, their guitars, the drum kit brand and their effects units. Then they got sponsored and never had to pay for gear again. Their manager was a smooth operator
