Since arriving in California from Burlington, Vermont, pop-punk band The Dares have already generated buzz in the local music scene and performed over 200 times, including shows at such venues famous as Viper Room, The Roxy, The Whisky, House of Blues, The Key Club, The University of Arizona and at this year's X-Games in LA.
The Dares have been playing together for seven years and written over 100 songs. Formed in 1998 by twin brothers Ben Peterson (guitar and lead vocals) and Matt Peterson (drums and vocals), the band moved to California in December of 2003 where school buddy Martin Lascano joined on bass guitar and vocals.
Their energy, showmanship, and great songs have gained The Dares numerous mentions in newspapers and magazines, and even two nominations at the 2006 Orange County Music Awards, including Best Pop Punk Band. Not bad for a trio of juniors from Whittier High School.
