Dangermaker

San Francisco’s champions of overcast pop-heavy rock n’ roll, <a href="spotify:artist:7uDYjd0MCgrBPqy2lgU8Jy" data-name="Dangermaker">Dangermaker</a>, have a very solid track record, which their sophomore album &#34;<a href="spotify:album:5pUwulS9AfdKGOy7baP82V" data-name="Run">Run</a>&#34; succeeds in solidifying further. Picking up where they left off with their &#34;Light the Dark&#34; EPs, this album is defined by classic songwriting, charmingly familiar hooks and a particular style of raw, warm production that flows throughout courtesy of producer Aaron Hellam. The band experienced an exciting, steady climb from humble beginnings in 2009 to appearances on Live 105&#39;s Soundcheck, festival appearances at Bottlerock Napa and Live 105’s BFD Music Festivals – with headliners like <a href="spotify:artist:1moxjboGR7GNWYIMWsRjgG" data-name="Florence &#43; The Machine">Florence &#43; The Machine</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:42vg2T0Xg9yPaAgogJzoQH" data-name="Atlas Genius">Atlas Genius</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3kVUvbeRdcrqQ3oHk5hPdx" data-name="GROUPLOVE">GROUPLOVE</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1yAwtBaoHLEDWAnWR87hBT" data-name="Modest Mouse">Modest Mouse</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6VDdCwrBM4qQaGxoAyxyJC" data-name="Cold War Kids">Cold War Kids</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5YkBrE0wF8cAlq3GCOw5Eu" data-name="Best Coast">Best Coast</a> – continuing on with US tour dates.

After lead singer <a href="spotify:artist:0dhOnDrT6yPK5wPW1wEGjD" data-name="Adam Brookes">Adam Brookes</a>’ father suffered a fatal accident and suddenly passed away during the first week of tracking their debut album &#34;<a href="spotify:album:4H8oPNML44iMPlgOn1S9PQ" data-name="Black Dream">Black Dream</a>&#34;, Adam, Carlos, Dave &amp; Neko plunged into their art with urgency and a newfound lust for life, eventually emerging with a cathartic sound that defines their releases on Breakup Records. Channeling a signature brand of lush indie rock &amp; pop ala early <a href="spotify:artist:0C0XlULifJtAgn6ZNCW2eu" data-name="The Killers">The Killers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1xU878Z1QtBldR7ru9owdU" data-name="Phoenix">Phoenix</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5v61OSg53KaQxGMpErkBNp" data-name="Anberlin">Anberlin</a> propelled the band forward to numerous showcases at SXSW, CMJ and beyond.
