Danger Friends

Danger Friends are a second-wave synth-punk band from Simi Valley, CA, the suburban home of the infamous Rocketdyne nuclear disaster. The band formed in 2009 from the remains of various punk and synth-pop bands; taking influences from groups like DEVO, Murder City Devils, The Cure, and The Screamers to craft their own raw, synthesizer and bass driven punk rock, without the aid of guitar.

The presence of synthesizers, and lack of guitar has been known to draw skepticism at first glance. But the raw nerd-rage of the vocals, the grungy distortion of the bass, and the tight-but-powerful drums make for a sort of controlled chaos that the synthesizers somehow fit into like a re-assembled car crash.
