DANGER DANGER frontman Ted Poley is featured in a new interview with SleazeRoxx.com. An excerpt is available below:

Sleaze Roxx: What made you decide to cover Michelle Branch's 'Breathe' as your new single?

Ted Poley: "I always liked the song. I was doing a different project in the studio with my drummer at the time, Dennis Leeflang who co-produced the track, and he played me an example of what he could do for drum sounds and I was impressed and I thought it would be neat to just do a song. I have a whole album written and ready to go but I wanted to do something real quick, interesting and fun so we could record something at his studio as an example of what we could do there and I picked that song which I've always liked. So I thought I'll see if they will humor me on this and they did and it came out really neat. The fans liked it and as it turned out, we made a really cool video for it which you can see below. It's got 10,000 hits in less than a month so I'm very happy with that."

Sleaze Roxx: You said you had a new record already recorded, but if you don't plan on releasing records anymore what do you think you will do with it?

Ted Poley: "It will probably go away somehow -- I don't know. I write with the Martin brothers from England and we have a whole CD of really cool stuff and it's exactly in the same vein as my last two solo CDs Collateral Damage and Smile and it picks up from there. But right now I'm not looking at record offers or CD deals that would make it worth the time and effort. As much as I do love my fans, I can do things for them in other ways such as tour and get out and play some of these songs for them live which is always my first love over studio work anyway.

The studio work is very much a job to me and not so much fun. Live it's a pleasure to be paid for that, but studio work is worth every penny because it's tough and I don't like it, but I like the finished product. It's like a root canal -- the process is painful but when it's all over you are sort of happy. If I never have to record a full CD again I'm fine with what I've done over the 30 years I've been out there (laughs). It would be a shame if it never came out because there are some really good songs. If any label out there is interested I'd love to give you a good CD but I can't just give it away. So if somebody wants to pay I'm in the studio, otherwise I might try and release another digital single. Will see how this goes in two months."
