Forming in 2005 as a side project for Andrew De Torres, they quickly formed their sound and released their debut LP, The Difference Between Love And Envy. They are notorious for frequent appearances as "Top Artists" on Purevolume due to their dedicated fan-base, and usually accompany The Scene Aesthetic on national tours. In 2006, Danger Radio released an EP, Punch Your Lights Out, which they sell at their shows.
Danger Radio released Used And Abused on July 8th, 2008 on Photo Finish records. They released their third EP Nothing's Gonna Hold Us Down on July 27th, 2010 on Doghouse Records.

Danger Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes it seem like the energy between us
May or may not be functioning with her
There is no questioning the love that I have deep inside
I know there is nothing I can give her,
Can't decide how to front my heart to win her
So I follow her closely, take notes and sit tightly,
I wait around for the right words to say,
Try to keep up with her as she turns away
I never could give in the easy way,
So I just keep it coming 'cause I can't fight what I'm loving
Oh yeah, Taylor what's happening
Give me a reason to come out and sing to me she said
Well here is the thing I don't have it inside of me to pull it off
I have plenty of words I could spit out in tunes
You'd enjoy them all equally none of them speak out
The phrases and terms that would get you to turn me
Can't find the right words to say
I wait around for the right words to say,
Try to keep up with her as she turns away
I never could give in the easy way,
So I just keep it coming 'cause I can't fight what I'm loving
Listen to me closely as I feed you my lines
You are my drug I need my fix I can't wait here in line
You, you make me panic girl you know how I work
I was the book you almost read but then you left me at home
I wait around for the right words to say,
Try to keep up with her as she turns away
I never could give in the easy way,
So I just keep it coming 'cause I can't fight what I'm loving
The lyrics in Danger Radio's song Slow depict a situation where the singer is trying to decipher the behavior of someone he likes. He finds it difficult to read her actions and understand whether there is chemistry between them or not. Despite his uncertainty, he acknowledges that he has strong feelings for her. Nevertheless, he struggles with how to win her affection, and he closely observes her in the hopes of finding the perfect opportunity to make his move. The chorus emphasizes his inability to find the right words to express his emotions, and his determination to keep trying to win her heart.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the singer is experiencing unrequited love. He is unable to discern if the person he likes reciprocates his feelings or not. His attempts to interpret her actions and figure out the nature of their relationship are in vain. However, he is persistent in his pursuit of her and refuses to give up on his feelings despite the challenges he faces. The chorus could represent his frustration with his inability to express his love and the sense of longing he feels towards the object of his affections.
Overall, the lyrics to Slow are an exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships and the difficulties people face when trying to navigate them. The song captures the confusion, frustration, and persistence that can accompany the pursuit of love.

She wants me to express my love for her, but I struggle to find the words to do so despite having plenty to say. I can't find the right phrases to win her over.

I try to impress her with my words and see her as my addiction, but she makes me nervous and I feel like I missed my chance with her.

Most unique Band in their generation. Underrated too. I hope there's a reunion concert with Andrew and the rest of members of DR.

I hate that almost no one pays attention to a band when they're active and then once they break up or "disappear" you get tons of people going "This was the best band ever!! Better than everyone else!!"
