What is your latest release?

Our DA debut blends modern and vintage heavy rock, featuring a richly produced, layered sound. The album showcases intricate guitar work, a powerful rhythm section, and strong vocals. It delivers a dynamic mix of hard rock, anthem rock, and classic rock and roll.

We aim to convey both a mystical and traditional heavy rock atmosphere, with music that evokes cinematic, dream-like moods while maintaining an energetic focus on guitar-driven, chorus-rich songs.

DA – Snake (All Rights Retained By DA)

What are the three songs you would recommend to new listeners?

DA – Angels (All Rights Retained By DA)

DA – Daisy Chains (All Rights Retained By DA)

What is the song you’re most proud of as a band?

The band unanimously regards ‘Angels’ as our most accomplished and impactful song. We believe it will become a classic within the AOR genre, given its arena appeal.

Composed as an anthem, its creation marked one of the most thrilling and uplifting moments for us during that recording session. This track will be the third single from our debut and will be available as a full length video on YouTube mid April.

When can we expect some new music?

We are about to start work on the follow-up second DA album as we speak, with recording starting in early August and with another independent release around this same time next year, 2027.

Who would be your dream collaboration?

Billy Duffy from The Cult has always been my biggest influence. I would really appreciate his thoughts and advice on the direction, arrangement, and energy of our new songs. To me, The Cult’s album ‘Love’ stands out as one of the best examples of commercial rock. Even now, singles from that album still get regular airplay around the world.

Where can people next catch one of your shows?

We are in a difficult situation at this DA point in time. Our wonderful drummer, Dan Smith, has had to stop drumming completely after suffering a life-changing work-related back injury. It truly is the saddest thing to happen to such an aspiring, talented young drummer. So this leaves us with the drummer spot open.

We will continue to use session musicians until we find the right replacement. In the meantime, we are working with our PR company to build a better band profile and will commit to gigging just as soon as we can. However, you can watch a full set from our 2025 Halloween gig here: https://youtu.be/i_dJuJ0u6dw?si=QUcPYcaEjwmSoQVf

What is the bands goal for the next 12 months?

To start recording our second album and to concentrate on gigging.

What is your message to new listeners?

We are a high-powered live band, and our debut album is crafted to be experienced as a complete journey, with each track contributing to the overall mood and flow. To truly appreciate what we do, I encourage you to come see us perform live and experience the energy firsthand. Cheers.
