The EP ends with a moody cover of cult British popsters Television Personalities' Diary of a Young Man." - Andrew Carver, The Ottawa Sun "brings to mind a laconic '78 era Elvis Costello and not dismissarily, a modish Van Morrison - "Mopar Radio" is "Brown Eyed Girl" for the Lambretta set. The final track "Malibu" may have good-timey, surf-oriented lyrics but there is an antithetically melancholic guitar figure running through it thats the mark of true genius." - Terry Banks, The Big Takeover Nick Danger & the DCR are on tour again to support their upcoming release on thebeautifulmusic,fall 2008. Since their debut release in 2003, DCR has become a local indie favourite. Their last album "Escape from Danger City", which was produced by Phil Bova and featured Mike Dube of The Hilotrons/ Epiricles, was critical success placing DCR at 4 on CKCU and CHUO.
