Artist History Approximately 6 billion years ago, Danny and the Animals was a tightly packed ball of pure talent and energy, about the size of the head of a needle. Through a rapid and violent reaction, this tiny ball exploded open sending immeasurable amounts of energy and mass all across what we call our "universe." Some of the energy was in the form of light, while some of it was tied up in large burning masses called "stars," which formed into galaxies. Although most of the energy was immediately put to use, a powerful wizard commonly referred to as Cosmi was able to harness some of the energy and store it in small cubes in the form of sound. For billions of years this sound remained trapped inside the small boxes, untouched by the entropy of the surrounding universe. When Cosmi was killed by a rival mage, Pobephacy, the boxes were scattered all across a barren and lifeless planet Earth. As Earth matured, intelligent life forms known as homo sapiens came to be; however, the cubes had long since been buried by millennia of sediment. This all changed on June 26, 1985, when an aptly named organist Wilbur Snapp was ejected from a Class A league baseball game for playing an angry version of Three Blind Mice after an umpire made a bad call. Although a seemingly innocent event, this brief moment of anger was the origin of Synthcore, a brand of sound so potent that it was able to shatter the magical cubes that had held the mysterious and powerful sounds that Cosmi had captured. Finally released from its prison, the sound found itself in search of a vessel - in search of a body to inhibit. It magnetized toward a pure, untouched newborn baby, one of the largest ever recorded weighing in at 16 pounds 4 ounces. The energy immediately nested and rooted itself in the child's brain, and lay dormant for years. The child would come to know as Danny. One day, Danny got together with some friends to create songs for fun. They started playing and as soon as Danny's mouth opened, years of pent up wisdom and power flowed from his mouth and into the microphone, as well as the body of his band mates. This power in musical form is Synthcore and the band is Danny and the Animals, driven by the "Potestas Animalis," the Latin term for "Animal Power." They are omnipotent, angry, and all knowing. As the chosen messengers of the Synthcore doctrine, they alone hold the key to the universe and all its majesty.

Press Reviews Danny and the Animals are everything that is wrong wtih America. They are violent, rude, sarcastic, and completely uneducated. They lack all talent and work ethic. If I were a parent, I would not allow my son to listen to Danny and the Animals just as I would not allow him to listen to LL Cool J, Eminem, Marylin Manson, and the other vulgar artists of today. If I could kill one person in the world it would be Danny of Danny and the Animals. - The President of the United States
