The Dangerfields are a face-ripping rock 'n' roll band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Inspired by Chuck Berry, Motörhead and the Ramones, they have been tearing up the road since March 2000. The hard-touring trio have played close to a thousand shows as an unsigned act, including a devilish number 666 on June 6, 2006. Their relentless DIY work ethic has influenced countless other Brit-punk wretches to get in the van and book their own lives.
AU described them as "the kind of band who'd thieve your Poison Idea records while making sweet, sweet love to your mum".
Kerrang! hailed their "reconstituted rock 'n' roll riffs and raging B-movie homages".
The Sunday Times said founding singer and drummer Andrew 'Griswold' Johnston is "like a trucker at a roadside diner in Albuquerque, sneering at the waitress from beneath his baseball cap".
In the annals of rock's road dogs, Griswold howls loudly. The indestructible frontman has stuck it out through hundreds of line-up changes, numerous brushes with the law and one near-fatal van crash. Forty-two Dangerfields have come and gone, including an American porn star, a BBC newsreader and two members of Irish thrashers Gama Bomb. The current line-up features 19-year-old guitar destroyer Jake McCullough and David McLennan (23) on bass.
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, Electric Eel Shock, DRI and Rockbitch, to namedrop a few. They have toured with more reunited punk bands than you can shake two fingers at, including a 30th-anniversary stint with Stiff Little Fingers. They even played some gigs at the Norwich pub once owned by serial killer Steve Wright.
Famous fans include Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and the late, great Joe Strummer. The Dangerfields have drunk whiskey with Lemmy, pumped iron with the Misfits and gatecrashed Angus Young's Dutch mansion. These and other adventures are set to feature in Griswold's first book, a tell-all bio branded as Mötley Crüe's
The Dirt meets an episode of
The Benny Hill Show.
As for the all-important music, it's a slamming concoction of '50s rock 'n' roll and high-speed hardcore punk, with razor-sharp riffs, fiery solos and scream-along choruses. 2004's
Hellride and 2006's
Born to Rock were the soundtrack to fornicating and fighting from Ballymena to Berlin, while the band's forthcoming new album 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.
