Bio:
Danny Veras- Bio Born in Brasil , Natal, On may 1st 1977; of a Spanish mother and Brasilian father. After various life experiences he went to europe as a kid and lived in France until the age of 11. It was already his big dream to be a rock singer since he heard Elvis for the 1st time when his sister gave him a tape of him. Danny started playing guitar on his own at the age of 11 , when he arrived in Spain (Barcelona). The year after he started a band with some guys from his town he was living in Spain. At the age of 15 he went to the Costa Brava to live and he started a band in Barcelona with his friend "Victor Conde" who was playing drums, "Joan Casanovas" on guitar & Xavi on the bass. They've formed “The Griffters” a hard rock band with an American style .In '93 they've recorded their 1st demo with 6 songs on a 4 track recorder . After that record the band split up . In '94 he tried to form a new band “Paranoia” with his friend "Willy Benavente" but didn´t go too far. He started to compose his own songs like “running away” and “ there´s some magic” and he called some friends to go into the studio to record 2 songs: “The light of my life” & “T.V scream”. That recording was the best he had done until that date . After that he left Spain and went to Switzerland to study in a school in '96. He met some guys who had a progressive metal band and they needed a singer , so he did the try-out and it worked; he was the new singer for MT20, just singing without the guitar , so he could concentrate more on his voice. They did some gigs in Switzerland and France and also a demo with 3 long songs. He stopped school and had to come back to Spain because the state didn´t allow him to stay in Switzerland due to the laws of the country. Coming back to Spain in '98 he stopped playing in bands , and started playing alone with his guitar and backing tracks in hotels , pubs , restaurants , parties , playing all different kinds of music , besides he did some projects and recordings with guitar players from Germany and Spain like Guido Neuhoff , André Krengel , Steve Keller , Joan Casanovas ( Ex-Griffters ).Played cover songs from Eric Clapton , Deep ,Purple , Stevie Wonder , Lionel Richie , Roy Orbison , Eagles, George Benson , Sting , and a lot more. After playing all the restaurants , bars, hotels and private parties in Costa Brava, Spain, it worked very well , until the law stopped the musicians playing in the Costa Brava. Police were always controlling and it was quite impossible to play everywhere as before. So he took the decision to move to the States and try his chances out there. Because if you can´t fight for what you dream in the place you live , there must be a place in the world where you can do it , and that place can be America.He Deceides to go to the states for a Visit where he end up stayin' 4 years in Hollywood, Los angeles, Singin' in the band 7 Months being the new Singer.... Since then he’ve lived In Hollywood California (Nov 2003- June 2007), and played the clubs : The Joint, The Cat Club, The Knitting Factory, Dragonfly, The Gig, Paladino’s, B.B. King’s, played the Biker convention “Thunder on the Lot” and played for Harley Davidson in Acton…. with the bands 7Months and L.A. Holeshot…. Then he’ve moved to Florida and played in the alternative band Wrecktifier, and the classic rock band Rock Bottom, in all south florida clubs like Cheers in Ft Lauderdale, “The ugly Mug “ In Delray Beach, Played the Mizner amphitheater in Boca Raton, as a guitar player for the artist Eddie Law…. Also Played “Mr G’S” in West Palm Beach and a lot more places of course… he’ve also played the young Circle with Rock Bottom in Hollywood Florida, and also played with a Duo at the Piazza pasta Café in Hollywood….
Album:
Born in Brazil, raised in Spain and France, and now calling Florida home, singer DANNY VERAS has lived a life shaped by riffs, road stories, and relentless passion. Since teaming up with melodic hard rock legend Paul Sabu in 2012, the duo has delivered a couple of refined AOR / Melodic Rock albums.Now, the third solo album, ”Can’t Stop the Rock”, feels like the culmination of decades spent living and breathing music—from early days in Barcelona’s hard rock scene to club nights in L.A. and beyond. This is the kind of record that knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies for it: rocking, melodic, and full of heart.Produced and co-written by Veras & Sabu, the album delivers all the fist-pumping choruses and arena-ready hooks you’d expect, but there’s depth here too. The title track, co-written with the late Frankie Banali (of Quiet Riot fame), hits especially hard – not just as an anthem, but as a tribute to rock’s enduring soul. You can feel the sweat and sincerity in every note.From the opening punch of ‘“Rock or Die’ to the swagger of lead single ‘Rich Woman’, Veras brings a strong vocal energy that pairs perfectly with a band of absolute pros. Guitarist Linkan Andersson shreds with precision, Barry Sparks (Dokken, UFO) holds down the low end, and Sabu does what he does best—making everything sound massive without losing the human touch.Title track ‘Can’t Stop The Rock’ is bursting with classic AOR energy—bold hooks, slick production, and impassioned performances. Danny delivers each line with conviction and style, while the production ensures everything lands with clarity and power. These are songs meant for the stage, the radio, and the open road.‘I Want You Forever’ is a soaring, semi-acoustic power ballad that in another era would’ve been a chart-topper. Next, ‘Keep The Faith’ is a heady fusion of Tesla, Firehouse, and old-school House of Lords, and is both classic and compelling.‘Devil’s Garden’ smoulders with brooding intensity, Veras channels the early ’80s here in one of the album’s darker moments. ‘Come Back To Me’ is full of urgency and swagger; this one has Paul Sabu’s fingerprints all over it.‘It’s Crazy’ is a dynamic midtempo with melodic peaks that wouldn’t be out of place on a Queensrÿche record like ‘Empire’. ‘Darlin’ is a different one – think Journey with a hint of ‘Long Cold Winter’-era Cinderella – it’s an unexpected blend that works beautifully.‘Misery’ is a melodic, midtempo rocker, effortlessly smooth and one of the album’s standout cuts. ‘Rich Woman’ is a quirky mix that feels like Cheap Trick with a twist. Whatever the mystery ingredient is, it’s delicious—especially with Andersson’s blistering lead work.Finally, ‘First Strike’ – the album closes with real class with this high-octane rocker, full of drive and swagger.‘Can’t Stop The Rock’ is an unapologetically retro Melodic Rock / AOR album in the best way. In a different era—say the golden age of the ’80s—it would have been massive.But even now, for fans of timeless Melodic Rock, this is a hidden gem that deserves your full attention. Veras and Sabu have crafted something passionate, powerful, and deeply enjoyable. Let’s hope they keep the music coming—because when it sounds this good, we’re all hungry for more.
