The Dangerfields are a three-piece rock 'n' roll band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Described by AU magazine as "the kind of band who'd thieve your Poison Idea records while making sweet, sweet love to your mum", they have torn up the road with a punishing schedule of DIY tours and one-night stands. Since bursting out in 2000, they have performed more than 800 live shows as an unsigned act, including a devilish number 666 on June 6, 2006.
Forty-one members have been and gone, but founder Andrew Griswold remains proud and true. He's a reckless road dog and one of the few singers who can front a band from behind a drum kit. The Sunday Times said: "On stage, he is like a trucker at a roadside diner in Albuquerque, sneering at the waitress from beneath his baseball cap." Griswold's current right-hand men are bassist (and former Marky Ramone goon) Jamie Delerict and guitarist Adam Sims.
The Dangerfields have stomped the boards with the Dwarves, the Supersuckers, Nashville Pussy, Zeke, Less than Jake, Flogging Molly, Life of Agony, Therapy?, Funeral for a Friend, DRI and Rockbitch, to namedrop a few. They have toured with more reunited punk bands than you can shake two fingers at, notably Stiff Little Fingers and the Damned. They even played at the Norwich pub once owned by serial killer Steve Wright.
Along the way, the hard-hitting trio have received the nod of approval from such legends as Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and the late, great Joe Strummer. They have drunk whiskey with Motörhead, dumpster-dived with the Misfits and gatecrashed AC/DC guitarist Angus Young's Dutch mansion.
On the road, the band have endured sectarian riots, Nazi brawls, police raids, tick infestations and, most terrifyingly, a near-fatal van crash. (Needless to say, they finished the tour.) Dangerfields members have been beaten up, imprisoned and mugged by prostitutes. A former guitarist was a part-time porn star, who died after returning to his native America.
As for the all-important music, it's a slamming concoction of Chuck Berry-inspired rock 'n' roll and high-speed hardcore punk, with razor-sharp riffs, fiery solos and scream-along choruses. 2005's Born to Rock was the soundtrack to fornicating and fighting from Ballymena to Berlin, while the band's forthcoming new album – due in March 2010 – cranks it over the top with 15 harder, faster, louder anthems.
It's simple. If you don't like the Dangerfields, you don't like rock 'n' roll.
