Danger Beach

Spotlight

Canberra AUS based punk / surf instrumentalist producer Danger Beach is another of genuinely interesting and ground breaking artists coming out of australia at the moment.   Indeed, our radars have been picking up plenty of new and exciting aussie music as too have the BBC’s who have picked Naked and Famous as one of their bands to watch for 2011.
