Band history

Danger Danger was formed in 1987 by bassist Bruno Ravel and drummer Steve West. Mike Pont was the lead singer for a while, and Al Pitrelli was the guitarist for a while before going on to play guitar for Alice Cooper. After adding keyboardist Kasey Smith, they made an attempt to record a demo, but failed. Shortly after, they recruited a singer called Ted Poley (who was playing in Prophet as drummer). They made another attempt at a demo, and this time it landed them a record deal with Epic Records.

In 1989, Tony Ray (from Saraya) joined briefly as guitarist before returning to his previous band. Andy Timmons replaced him, and the band finally released their debut album that year.

In 1993, the band had finished work with their third album titled Cockroach. However, surprisingly, the band fired singer Poley. Subsequent lawsuits from Poley prevented the album from being released. In the meantime, Paul Laine was hired by Ravel and West as the new singer and he re-recorded the vocals for the new album. Still, when they were about to release it, Epic thought it was in their best interest to decide to shelve the record. Shortly after, the band and the label amicably parted ways.

Ravel and West went on to form their own label, Low Dice Records, and they started working on a new album together with Laine.

The band went back in the studio and released Four the Hard Way in 1998. The album was a return to the melodic rock that had made them famous at first.

In 2001, the band made a unique move after talks with Epic, releasing Cockroach, which was supposed to be their third album, but couldn’t be released for legal issues.
