Dangers
Cali has been a hot bed for great hardcore bands for quite some time now, and Dangers are among the best of them. Since their formation back in 2005 the band has released 3 full-lengths and 4 EPs.
Standout Release
Their debut
Anger is a very straight-up take on the genre that hits hard and fast with some real intensity coming from each member. Perhaps the best part of the project is the tongue-in-cheek humor of vocalist Al Brown. Of course we've all come to know and love the take no **** attitude many punk bands carry themselves with, but Brown is ruthless all over this thing, spewing lyrics with a ravenous intensity that's almost animistic at times.
Other Projects
The follow-up to
Anger, 2010's
Messy, Isn't It? takes a very similar approach, building off of the foundation presented by the band on their debut.
The band's latest release came this year in the form of
The Bend in the Break. This is easily their most ambitious effort, as the guys' look to branch out and incorporate elements of post-hardcore in their sound, but in the process give up a lot of that same intensity that made their first two records so impressive. There's still a lot of fury in their sound, and for those that prefer ambitious risk taking over breakneck riffing and pure anger, this might even be your preferred album.
