Danger Danger
Biography
The quintet -- Ted Poley (vocals), Andy Timmons (guitar), Bruno Ravel (bass), Steve West (drums), and Kasey Smith (keyboards) Landed a deal with Epic in 1989. The same year saw the release of the groups self-titled debut, spawning the single/video "Naughty Naughty," which enjoyed a few airings on MTVs Headbangers Ball program. The album failed to break the group through to the big time, but the group stuck to their guns and issued further albums: 1991s Screw It!, 1995s Dawn, 1998s Four the Hard Way, and 2000s Return of the Great Gildersleeves.
Singer Ted Poley and guitarist Andy Timmons left the band after "Screw It!" was released (and having recorded a third album which got shelved). The band brought in Paul Laine to replace Poley for 1995s "Dawn" and on.

In 2001, Laine would record vocals for the shelved album they had recorded with Poley. Fans wanted to hear both singers, so they released this album, "Cockroach" as a 2-disc set, both discs having the same songs (Laines had a bonus track), the only difference being the vocalist.
2003 saw the return of Ted Poley to the band. Danger Danger would then release "Prime Cuts", a collection of rare tracks and demos from the 80s with Ted Poley.
Their latest release is a live album recorded during their last tour with singer Paul Laine.
They also contributed a track called "Naughty Naughty Christmas" to the "Have A Very Hairy Christmas" Compilation. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
