Altsounds - DANGER RADIO SET TO PLAY SXSW, BAMBOOZLE AND AP TOUR KICK-OFF PARTY

After a successful stint on The Pac Sun Tour with The Audition and label mates Envy on the Coast, the boys in Danger Radio (www.myspace.com/dangerradio) are wasting no time before heading back out on the road. The band is confirmed to play an afternoon set at the Photo Finish Records SXSW Showcase on 3/14 (with Paper Rival, Steel Train, Envy on the Coast and Anthony Green) and another set at the Ernie Ball SXSW Showcase later that night (with Story of the Year, MXPX, Envy on the Coast and Anthony Green.).

Danger Radio has also been added to the lineup for the AP Tour kickoff party in Dallas, TX on 3/16 (with The Secret Handshake, Envy on the Coast, The Maine, Danger Radio, Brighten, Folk & Stress). Their tour with The Secret Handshake, The Maine and Powerspace starts 3/18 in Augusta, GA. Also be sure to catch Danger Radio at Bamboozle Left April 5th in Irvine, CA and May 4 at Bamboozle in E. Rutherford, NJ.

Having matured from a pop-punk indie band to a more groove-oriented, dancey rock group, the sextet from Washington, with a fondness for hardcore funk, decided to simply play the type of music they like to listen to. Recorded at the Tank in Seattle with Tom Pfaeffle (Gatsby's American Dream, Daphne Loves Derby), the band's Punch Your Lights Out EP nods to everything from Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall to Stevie Wonder’s double-album epics of the 1970s, using disco hi-hats, MIDI samples and classical/jazz flourishes as accents - DR collectively has enough classical training to launch an orchestra. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer raved, "Danger Radio deliver fun-filled pop for the masses...this dancetacular affair comes out of the gates swinging hoping to connect with its groove-inducing body blows of backbeats and feisty jabs of electronic beeps and boops. (it) does what all great EPS do: it leaves listeners satisfied while at the same time has them anxiously anticipating what the band will do when it lets loose with a full-length album that goes the whole 12 rounds...The song "Party Foul" alone packs enough of a punch with its liberal use of wah-wah effects that it may just knock your socks off right from under your dance shoes. Think Head Automatica mixed with the sass of U.S.E. and the radio friendliness of Maroon 5 you're almost there."

Danger Radio's debut full-length will be out later this year.
