Mini bio
How it started.
Harmony Cavelle and Harry Winks began writing together during lockdown. Cody Jones joined on drums, and Ollie Green answered a university newsletter advert for a bassist. After living together in Guildford, the band moved into Harmony’s family home so they could keep making music together.
Finding their people.
DANGER gained traction online, while videos of their rehearsals let fans in on the jokes and interruptions behind the songs. At Reading & Leeds in 2024, the band saw those online listeners turn into a crowd singing along. Their debut EP, 2005, brought their developing sound together that December.
Taking it on the road.
In 2025 they won Best UK Breakthrough Artist at the Heavy Music Awards, sold out their first US headline tour and released PLAY!. The second EP was written largely while touring. In 2026, SUPERMAN, DEADMEAT and F.A.M.O.U.S followed, alongside arena support shows with 5 Seconds of Summer and a Download main stage appearance.
