About D-A-D

For over four decades, D-A-D, formerly known as Disneyland After Dark, have been a formidable force in the European rock scene. Emerging from Copenhagen in the early 1980s, they quickly distinguished themselves with a potent blend of hard rock, heavy metal, and a touch of punk attitude. Their early years saw them build a solid following through relentless touring and a series of critically acclaimed albums that showcased their infectious energy and distinctive songwriting.

The band’s breakthrough came with albums like “Riskin’ It All” (1991) and “D.A.D.D.A.D.” (1995), which propelled them to superstardom in their native Denmark and saw them gain significant traction across the continent. Hits like “Sleeping My Day Away,” “Marlboro Man,” and “Law of the Jungle” became staples of rock radio and concert setlists, demonstrating their knack for crafting unforgettable melodies that resonate with audiences of all ages. Their sound is characterised by Jesper Binzer’s powerful, distinctive vocals, the twin-guitar assault of Jacob Binzer and Stig Pedersen (who also handles bass duties), and the thunderous rhythm section provided by Laust Sonne on drums.

D-A-D’s longevity is a testament to their enduring appeal and their ability to evolve without compromising their core sound. They’ve consistently released strong material, with later albums such as “Everything Glows” (2016) and “War of the Roses” (2011) proving they still possess the fire and creativity to deliver powerful, relevant rock music. Their live performances are legendary, known for their high octane energy, charismatic stage antics, and the palpable connection they forge with their audience.
