Dangermaker

Ashes to Ashes

In a Dream

I Won't Let You Down

Light the Dark - EP II

The Light is the first new single from San Francisco's Dangermaker. Hot on the heels of their debut album Black Dream, this first taste of their upcoming collection is a powerful and drama-tinged rock anthem of the highest degree. The video, produced by Jen Cohen, is an energy-filled warehouse light show extravaganza which perfectly captures the somber and triumphant mood of this excellent new track. After lead singer Adam Burnett’s father suffered a fatal accident and suddenly passed away during the first week of tracking Black Dream, Adam, Carlos, Dave & Neko plunged into their art with the urgency of a newfound appreciation for life, eventually emerging with a euphoric new sound. In the end, the unifying experience of struggle and loss led to an increased depth of creative character that defines their forthcoming EP – Light The Dark EP I – to be released on Breakup Records this fall. Channeling dark indie pop ala early Killers, Phoenix, and White Lies has propelled the band forward to recent showcases at SXSW, CMJ and beyond. 

"With catchy rock hooks and an indie pop vibe, Dangermaker creates a unique sound that infects your soul." Tony DuShane, San Francisco Chronicle 

"Driving percussion and moody, anxious guitar hooks (Interpol at their most danceable?) lay a bed for singer Adam Burnett's plaintive wail, which — while Bowie comparisons are hard to live up to (and he gets them often enough) — has a way of sticking around your eardrums... like an adventure dream full of danger you can't quite put your finger on, something hanging on the precipice of nightmare, but too interesting to make you want to wake up." Emma Silvers, San Francisco Bay Guardian 

"A sensational ride between dark and light... anthemic and dramatic tracks that find the rock outfit taking on a much more mature sound. There’s much more to expect from Dangermaker with their upcoming Light The Dark EP I release." Victor Casillas Valle, The Bay Bridged 

"Dangermaker knows exactly who and what they are and unabashedly portray that for the world to see. They perfect what their influencers created, neatly wrapped in haphazard melodies and experimental instrumentation. I am now addicted to this indie rock band, their guitar riffs are incapsulating and their vocal stylings capture emotion differently then I have ever heard. Any fan of pulsing rhythms, reverie guitar playing, and innovative lyrics should give this band a listen." Gabe Crawford, Vinyl Vortex 

"Dangermaker has a little bit of everything, the sound is familiar but not comparable to anything. They do a great job of balancing on the tightrope between power anthems meant for arenas in the 80's and pop rock. Dangermaker know what they are doing, who they are, and how to present it to an audience." Cadet Edac, I Heart SF Bands

Light the Dark - EP I

Wake Up is the first single from Dangermaker’s upcoming full-length, Black Dream. With its deep guitar tones and soaring melodies, this dark and audacious cut offers a perfect taste of the aforementioned collection. During the first week of tracking Black Dream, Dangermaker’s lead singer Adam Burnett’s father suffered a fatal accident and suddenly passed away. Staring, for the first time, directly into the face of mortality, Burnett, though devastated, was hit hard with a dose of reality. In the months that followed, driven by the urgency of a newfound appreciation for life, Adam and Dangermaker plunged into their art, eventually emerging stronger and with a collection. In the end, the unifying experience of loss led to an increased depth of creative character that defines their brilliant new release. Channeling 70′s Bowie, The Clash, The Stooges, and Interpol, this core of passionate musicians has crafted a provocative debut album, which has led to recent showcases at SXSW and CMJ, propelling the band forward into 2014.


“Black Dream fits in nicely with anyone’s collection, the melodies and instrumentation sometimes remind you of the feel of 60′s pop. This is not a retro group, however, by any means. A modern rock foundation with pop sensibilities. The instrumentation is intriguing. It pulls you in and keeps you listening. There is a cohesive sound, yet the sound is not redundant. This is an album I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. My only complaint is that it ended too soon…” Power Population

“A young indie rock band who take classic rock stylings and bring them into the new millennium – that’s Dangermaker. Lots of energy, cool, dark, angular melodies is their forte…” David Bash, IPO San Francisco

“This is a real rock and roll album, like in the movies.” Uncle Farkus

“A cross of Mick Jagger and David Bowie might make one scary looking dude, but his voice would sure intrigue. This SF act does a dead-on imitation of that unholy mash-up, then supports ‘him’ with juicy sleaze-rock guitars, a la another wildly skilled wildman: Keith Richards.” CNET/download.com

“I’d rate Dangermaker as one of my top 5 favorite indie bands in the Bay Area. The magic behind Dangermaker’s music is the accessibility in the sound, the listener gets the melody with the first listen…” Eugenia Loli-Queru, The Owl Mag

“San Francisco’s Dangermaker play slick, haunting guitar rock that goes perfectly with a shot of whiskey and an absence of light. Don’t bother listening to this band first thing in the morning as you enjoy a bran muffin with your skim latte. This is not a breakfast band. I can’t say for certain, but I’m pretty sure Dangermaker are creatures of the night – which works for me because I am definitely not a morning person.” Ethan Kanat, Tough Customer Records
