(1985 – present)
British AOR band formed in 1985 by frontman Darren Wharton, formerly keyboard player for Thin Lizzy. Their debut album in 1988 Out Of The Silence is considered a true classic from every AOR fan around the world. In 1991 they released Blood From Stone a much heavier hard rock album which is also classic for its genre although it didn’t have a great success. After seven years of silence Dare changed their line up , Darren Wharton decided to start producing Dare’s albums in his own studio from this point on. In 1998 Calm Before The Storm was released with a new sound of unique classic rock with balanced electric and acoustic gutitars and a multilayered production . In 2001 their next album Belief was released with a major change in the band’s sound into more atmospheric classic rock along with celtic inlfluences . Dare established a really unique and trademark sound along with very emotional lyrics . In 2004 Dare released [Album artist=Dare]Beneath the Shining Wate[/album]” with a darkier and more sentimental laid back sound than Belief which was followed by a live DVD release Power of Nature: Live in Munich.
