Danger Den’s latest single, “Daisy,” proves once again why the Melbourne-based pop punk outfit has earned their reputation for crafting songs that hit as hard emotionally as they do sonically. Bursting with tension, melodic grit, and earworm hooks, the track transforms a tangled tale of office romance into an anthemic banger that lingers long after the last chord.
Based on a true story, “Daisy” dives into the messy dynamics of two friends unexpectedly competing for the affection of the same effortlessly cool colleague. Frontman Jeremy Uyloan captures the cheeky yet vulnerable spirit of the track perfectly, describing it as sounding like “Jessie’s Girl had a pop punk cousin.” With driving drums, crunchy guitars, and passionate vocals, the song strikes that sweet spot between angst and melody, channeling the nostalgia of pop punk’s golden era while feeling undeniably fresh.
While “Daisy” is brimming with humor and cheekiness, its heart lies in themes of friendship, rivalry, and the unspoken emotions simmering beneath the surface. It’s a modern-day diary entry set to music, wrapping vulnerability and unrequited desire in Danger Den’s signature energy. Fans of New Found Glory, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, and Blink-182 will feel instantly at home.
Formed in Darwin and now thriving in Melbourne, Danger Den has been steadily building momentum since 2018 with their heartfelt lyrics, explosive performances, and unstoppable drive. From their debut album Pull Yourself Together to accolades like finalist nods at the Northern Territory Music Awards and topping the 2022 Territory Sounds Countdown, the band has solidified their presence on the national stage.
With “Daisy,” Danger Den delivers a track that balances fun, nostalgia, and emotional honesty — the very essence of what makes pop punk resonate
