Frontiers Records has announced the signing of DANGER DANGER for the release of a brand new studio album in 2008.

Says the label, "Formed in 1987 by Bruno Ravel and Steve West, and rounded out by Ted Poley, Andy Timmons and Kasey Smith, it didn't take long for the band to be noticed by Epic Records' Lennie Petze, the guy who had earlier discovered BOSTON, CYNDI LAUPER, and ALDO NOVA, to name a few. Released in 1989, the self-titled release struck gold.

After releasing another amazingly successful album such as Screw It in 1991, D2 recorded a third disc for Sony entitled Cockroach which, due to legal wrangling, wouldn’t see the light of day until eight years later. Upon completion of the album, the band parted ways with lead singer Ted Poley. Needing a replacement, friend and former Elektra recording artist, Canadian Paul Laine stepped in, releasing Dawn as the band’s independent album in 1995. Two more successful studio albums came out later: Four The Hard Way, the band’s triumphant return to the original melodic rock roots, and The Return Of The Great Gildersleeves”, both greeted with stellar reviews from critics and fans the world over, further helping cement the band's reputation.

2004 saw the official return in the line-up of the original singer Ted Poley after an 11 year absence and this forthcoming album will be the band’s first studio effort with Ted since the “Cockroach” sessions! “”We are very excited to be recording with Ted again, as I know our fans are, as well”, says drummer Steve West who announces that “the new one will be a true Danger Danger record: a present for the fans who will surely be pleased”. Danger Danger line-up today includes also the other original member Bruno Ravel and guitarist Rob Marcello.

Danger Danger is looking forward to entering the studio, following the special gig that the band will play in Ludwigsburg, Germany at the United Force Of Rock festival, next Sunday, September the 30th, where they will perform together with JOE LYNN TURNER, STAN BUSH, WHITE WOLF, SOUL DOCTOR, LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM and HUMAN ZOO.

“We're looking to have the record finished by the end of the year and we’re also looking forward to meet all our European fans in Germany", concludes Steve West.
