The Dangerfields Explained
The Dangerfields are a punk rock/heavy metal band based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2000. Fronted by drummer and lead vocalist Andrew Griswold, the band has gone through many line-up changes. They have released one album and four EPs, and played more than 800 live gigs, including playing their 666th gig on 06/06/06.
They have toured with many notable bands, including The Dwarves, Zeke, The Damned, Misfits, The Exploited, Flogging Molly and Stiff Little Fingers. In May 2004, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden invited them to perform with him at his BBC 6 Music Road Show at Belfast's Mandela Hall alongside Therapy?.
Bands to have played their debut gigs opening for The Dangerfields include And So I Watch You from Afar and Black Spiders. Fellow Irishmen and former touring partners Gama Bomb recorded a cover version of the Dangerfields' song Maniac on their Zombi Brew EP.
The Dangerfields stopped touring in 2011, but never officially split up. They returned to the stage for 'one-off' gigs in 2014 and 2019, and as of 2021, are working on a new album.
