Ladies and gentlemen of the online world... Let me introduce The Dangermen

NEW YORK (Miguel Banuelos/ V2 Records) - At the tail-end of last year, The Dangermen played a handful of super-secret gigs at Camden's Dublin Castle, performing classic and little known ska cover versions. The energy and excitement of the band's early days, playing sweaty shoeboxes in Camden, was magically recaptured, reminding all that were lucky enough to be in attendance that The Dangermen remain one of the best live bands in the country. It was obvious from this moment that The Dangermen's take on the music that inspired them should be captured on record and V2 jumped at the chance to be involved.

Who are The Dangermen you may ask? If you haven't already guessed, it's Madness- sneaking into Camden and shaking things up once again. It's not as if Madness have been idle over the years. Since 1994, the band have been wowing the masses with their 'Madstock' gigs every now and again- from filling Finsbury Park, to selling out Wembley Arena year after year. It was at last year's Wembley show that the band threw a few cover versions into their set such as Desmond Dekker's 'The Israelites.' The crowd loved it, the band were inspired and the Dangermen were born.

If you have ever loved ska, the 80s hit "Our House" or anything two tone related, this is for you! Madness – The Dangermen Sessions Vol 1 is released on August 16. The first single is 'Shame & Scandal' and there will be select live shows this year and early 2006. For a taste of the new record, check out the e-card:
