This is one of eight Dan H / Dan H Band albums I have heard or streamed online (I think that there is a total of 13 or 14 now?), and they are all quality. Dan H usually stays within the alternative rock area, with influences by all of the big 80s alt bands. This one feels like it has a slightly more Melloncamp heartland influence than the last one I listened to (even though that one had that influence as well). But Dan H doesn’t really mimic an influence as much as let it color his sound. Probably because he isn’t afraid to rock out, or let the bass player experiment from time to time, or do other things you often didn’t see in 80s alt rock. You can also find this one on his BandCamp site (embedded below) – although it seems the songs are in different order, sometimes with “updated” song titles (“B My Is” for “Be My Eyes” for example).
