    “…great harmonies
    , well written songs, and some killer guitar work… Skull Daze crank out some damn good hard rock on this self titled release… there are a few songs that really stand out for me… so if you like good glam rock, you should get your hands on this CD…”
    Review by Loud Reviews

    “… a band from Italy… who has enough balls, fire and charisma to bring back the good old days of 80’s Rock ‘n’ Roll… The Judas Priest-like guitars, pounding drums and even at times Mike Tramp (White Lion) sounding vocals makes me want to see these guys play in a huge arena…”
    Review by Krash City Mag

    “…Skull Daze keep a steady middle ground between classic (heavy) metal and sleaze rock. There's a whole lot of technique in their songs that you usually don't hear in the sleazier genres… go for Skull Daze and you'll like what you hear: riff-driven melodies that keep hitting you square in the chest”
    Review by sleazenation.be

    “The Italians on their first project offer us an excellent glam album… from the well worked vocals and the well written guitars, I was impressed from the sound that gives a more metallic scent on the whole compositions… the album is judged necessary for the fans of the specific sound”
    Review by rockwind.eu

    “…Horns Up Baby It's Time To Punch Air & Wear Spandex… From the school of Skid Row, Motley Crue and other fine Sunset Strip acts comes Skull Daze… Acey Starlight and Danny Slade's dual guitars are very good… lead singer Johnny Rainbow is a dead on vocal clone of Ron Keel… The band take more from the dirtier glam rock bands of the genre and less from the more pretty pop acts… if you like this genre give it a listen…”
    Review by My Musical Landscape

    ”... These Italian rockers are much heavier than your typical glammed-up rockers… these guys have a great grasp of what made the sleazy underground so interesting in the late '80s. . They aren't afraid to incorporate solos whenever they can, scream every chance they get and mix the old with the new… there isn't a single bad track, the entire record delivers with a consistency rarely found these days…”
    Review by sleazeroxx.com

    “…This self-titled debut is freaking awesome… some kick-ass sleazy riffs and some out of this world shred solos… The songwriting is of a high quality… DIRTY GIRL is a song that encapsulates everything that was good about the eighties hard rock scene and condenses it into three minutes of pure awesomeness… I urge anyone into this type of music to order this one immediately and don’t let it go under the radar…”
    Review by myglobalmind.info

    “…they have in their line-up a huge guitar-wall of sound, with licks coming straight outta a Heavy Metal/Power Metal book, … fans can sing-a-long all night long, because the choruses of these songs are deadly catchy! … this CD is a must-have for fans of FASTER PUSSYCAT, RATT, MOTLEY CRUE, SKID ROW and POISON… and it is as good as those recent Scandinavian attacks of Glamrock by bands like CRASH DIET, WIG WAM and CRAZY LIXX…”
    Review by strutter.co.nr

    “…pumping out a fine collection of tunes… the music is honest, loud and rocking…. The sound is a mix of sleaze, hard rock, metal and good old rock 'n' roll… There are plenty of good, catchy and memorable tracks on the album… and it's always tempting to put the album on for one more spin… I can imagine these songs will be a blast on the live stage. They are certainly entertaining on record, and there's plenty to like here for fans of the sleazier end of hard rock.”
    Review by rockrealms.com

    "...Calling all old school rockers. This ones for you. These guys bring back the sound of Skid Row, Poison, and a taste of Motley Crue... you find yourself wanting to sing along to... Bringing back what rock and roll used to be..."
    Review by All Access Music Magazine

    "... 10 well produced and well played melodic metal songs... The whole thing is quite solid... songs like "Turn It Down" and "Nothin" are actually very good... Melodic metal/heavy rock fans shouldn't be disappointed with this album!"
    Review by veglam.com

    "...Play it LOUD!!!!!! Make sure your neighbors know SKULL DAZE fucking rock! Johnny Rainbow, you da man!!!! Listen to that chorus yeah there ya go…. These guys are going to light the fire so get ready for SKULL DAZE!!!! Get this fucking CD!"
    Review by rockeyez.com

    "...on this full-length debut, Skull Daze nails the fiercer side of 80's glam rock by giving it a sure metal edge. Strong musicianship and song composition make this work a creative and urgent offering, and less a derivative homage to the past. Very recommended !"

SKULL DAZE - UNOFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY

Controversial “take it or leave it” sleaze rock/metal band Skull Daze is formed in Rome, Italy in Summer 2007 as Johnny Rainbow (vocals) & Jöey London (bass) decide to start a Murderdolls tribute band. They meet Acey Starlight (guitar) and Ico (drums), and the original idea becomes reality.

Soon after a few studio sessions the band shows a very personal groove and immediately starts writing and recording original tracks based on the hard rock / glam genre influenced by bands like W.A.S.P., Mötley Crüe, HardCore SuperStar, etc…

A 3 tracks demo “Sex Drugs & Rock ‘n Roll” is released in November 2007 and the band immediately starts playing live shows.



Their popularity immediately starts growing up gigs by gigs as their fans and supporters multiply. In March 2008 during a live show at the Blue N joy club in Rome some cops come out and stop the band’s performance … the cops say: "You are too loud!!!" isn't it rock n roll?!! A couple of months later the band wins a competition on Roxx Zone web site in order to record a full length album.

In summer 2008 the band has some line up changes: a new drummer (The President) and one more guitar player (Danny Slade). This new line up brings the sound the band was looking for: more powerful, outlined but at the same time dark and very personal. EP “Dangertainment” containing 4 tracks is released in October 2008 and immediately goes sold out.



Intense live performances continue throughout the first half of 2009 along with usual troubles with venues and local police. The band then enters the famous Outer Sound Studios in Rome run by Giuseppe Orlando from “Novembre” to record the debut full length self-titled album “Skull Daze”.

In February 2010 the band is signed by Italian Indie Label "Street Symphonies Records".

"Skull Daze" is released in May 2010 and is distributed worldwide by Twilight-Vertrieb.
In early 2011 The President leaves the band for personal reasons and he's replaced by former New Babylon drummer Dan Uzi.
