DANNY DIABLO:
Releases on Countdownrecords: "Street Vol.1"
Who is Danny Diablo? Many stories told, some true, some exaggerated, tell a myth of a fearless street fighter, If James Bond were from the streets, he would be Danny Diablo. Born Danny Singer back in the seventies, Diablo was the first child to proud and loving parents mom a Puerto Rican from the East River Houses in Spanish Harlem and dad a Jewish cop from Brooklyn.
In the mid-eighties Jackson Heights became the mecca for a brand of punk rock known as New York hardcore with bands like Gorilla Biscuits, Raw Deal, The Mob and SFA. Sunday matinees at CBGB's, The Ritz, L'Amour's or Irving Plaza soon became the norm, And Danny went on his first tour as a roadie for Sick Of It All on their 1992 United States run with Biohazard.
In 1994 Danny formed the critically acclaimed NYHC act Crown Of Thornz. They released their debut EP "Train Yard Blues" in 1995, a dedication to Danny's younger brother David whose life ended tragically the year prior. Later in 1995 Danny branched off with members of NYHC act Madball to form Skarhead and release "Drugs, Money, Sex", a side project in which Danny sang of the harsh realities of living in the NYC.
The year 1998 ultimately proved to be Crown Of Thornz' final curtain call as Danny shifted all of his efforts to Skarhead and released "Kings At Crime" the following year. For Danny, Skarhead epitomized the hardcore lifestyle. Tours with The Misfits, GWAR and Hatebreed soon followed as Skarhead always left a lasting impression both on and off the stage. Eventually Danny took Skarhead all around the world, culminating in a 1999 summer Warped Tour appearance alongside acts such as Suicidal Tendencies, Eminem, Sevendust, Ice-T, Dropkick Murphys and Blink 182. Skarhead eventually called it quits in 2002, releasing "NY Thugcore: The Hardcore Years 1994-2000".
Now everyone's favorite redheaded Puerto Rican Jew is back in his truest form, Danny Diablo. Making his debut on The Transplants' new joint, Diablo's creative juices are flowing and he is ready to take his show on the road. With the production skills of Dante Ross (Everlast, Brand Nubian, 3rd Bass) in his corner, and a list of cameos that would make P. Diddy jealous, Diablo is poised to knock out the competition in 2004. The legend of Danny Diablo lives on..
