Career
Danny B is a record producer of growing notoriety and owner of HVR Recording Studios where he has produced bands such as Eastern Front, Pentagram Chile, Criminal, Agonyst, Brainchoke, Depraved Plague and Lock Up to name a few as well as working with now legendary NWOBHM artists Trespass. According to his own personal page he did recently start a band with Zac O"Neil (Criminal/Agonyst/Extreme Noise Terror) and Paul Martin (Brainchoke/Infected Dissaray) called North.C.A. (Number Corporate Agenda or Number Cu*ts Allowed depending on which version you believe, left unanswered for the sake of humour apparently) this band was originally written with Philosophy Vane (also of Extreme Noise Terror) in mind on vocals and was shelved after Vane"s death (they never even rehearsed as a full line up but the songs were always being written with Vane"s voice as the inspiration). When asked at Bloodstock 2012, Dan Biggin replied that "I wouldn"t rule out doing the band but Philosophy was one of a kind and it is hard to imagine who could sing the songs, I would love to record the songs still and maybe have a different singer on each track initially and then find a permanent singer for live shows.
In that case I would like Barney from Napalm and Tompa from Lock Up to sing on lieutenant" In 2013 it was announced that North.C.A. was going ahead with a new vocalist and that recording was taking place for the debut European Parliament. Recording was completed in January 2014 on the debut European Parliament to be entitled "Something for the weakened" and that the vocal position was now being filled by Jon Loughlin from the band Raging Speedhorn (who coincidentally was also Philosophy Vanes replacement in Extreme Noise Terror) however the project was then put on hold once more due to the reunion of Raging Speedhorn and subsequent performance at the United Kingdom Sonisphere festival.
