Dangerous! are a two piece punk band from Australia comprising Nicky Jones[1][1] and Jarrad Lee.[2] The band's early work was predominantly garage indie punk rock. Their debut LP, Teenage Rampage included an additional bassist and vocalist. It was released in 2011 on Epitaph Records and earned them the title of the "Hottest New Band of the Year".[3] Dangerous! is the only Australian act to sign to Epitaph for worldwide distribution.[4][5][6]

The band followed this release with a string of festival appearances throughout Europe and the US, including the Sonisphere Festival,[7] Download,[8] Big Day Out, Push Over,[9] and Pyramid Rock.[10]

The band re-emerged in 2013 as the founding duo of Jones and Lee announcing an electronic punk direction. They composed new material in Los Angeles, California [2] November 2013[11] and debuted 'No Kooks'[12] July 2014, displaying the Punk/Alternative House sound[12] and image associated with the band today.[13]

Brett Gurewitz (Epitaph Records CEO/Bad Religion) noted (he is) 'Proud of this signing. Dangerous! All new, off-the-chain, brash Rock n' Roll'.[14]
