Our Bio

Mike, Co-Founder of Armed & Dangerous began his musical journey as a drummer at the age of 8. When the band couldn't find a suitable vocalist, Mike took on the role of Lead Singer. He's had the opportunity to share the stage with notable vocalists like Dave DeFeis (Virgin Steele), Bonnie Parker (Bonnie Parker Band) and Johnny Blaze (Swift Kick & Scarecrow). Mike has also made guest appearances with bands such as Big Engine, Killcode and Tang. Drawing inspiration from rock legends Robert Plant, Lemmy and Ronnie Van Zant. Mike brings a unique energy to "Armed & Dangerous".

In 2013 Daren started his journey as a musician co-founding Armed & Dangerous with Mike and other great musicians. The last couple of years Daren has taken guitar playing to different level adding more theory, styles and tones into his playing. Daren's inspiration arises from musicians such as Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Eddie Van Halen, John Petrucci and Dimebag Darrell Abbot. Daren experienced playing at some great venues with great artists such as Tim "Ripper" Owens, Tom Cavanagh, Mark Edwards in such places like Coney Island-Brooklyn, NY and recently Saints & Sinners, Beaver Bar and the Iron Horse Saloon here in Florida. Since moving to Florida in 2020, Daren has played with bands "Without Warning", "Hollow Point", "Dedmon7Deadly", and currently with "King Steel" as well. Armed & Dangerous isn't just a band but a Brotherhood which I am glad to be a part of.

Steve started out banging on books until he finally his first drum set for Christmas when he was 14 years old. He didn't have money for lessons but picked it up pretty quick and played for years . When he got his first apartment , he bought an acoustic guitar and spent hours figuring out chords and learning songs by ear . When a friend needed a bass player , he bought a bass and jumped right in and never looked back . Steve appreciates and recognize talent in lead guitar players and singers and can relate to timing , groove , chord arrangements , and the beat of the songs . Through the years , Steve has been in garage bands , bar bands , tribute bands and original bands while also song writing. Recently relocating to Florida, Steve got the call from Armed and Dangerous and immediately joined. Clicking with his bandmates right away and becoming very close like family .
