After seeing the ska/new wave flavoured Sleeping With The Enemy achieve 55,000 Spotify streams, original 1980’s indie pop band Daniel Takes A Train unleash their seventh single Bless The Weak. Rock solid and anthemic with a suitably hard-hitting message for these most trying of times, Bless The Weak recalls the more carefree Britpop heyday of Morrissey, Pulp and Blur. “The 80’s band that would never say never” Tameside Radio, UK “Beautiful, melodic, sublime indie pop!” Big Takeover Magazine

Daniel Takes A Train’s sixth single release following their rediscovery and reformation in 2019, Miracle Cure questions self help gurus, health and dietary fads, scientific progress and the quick fix culture. All to a powerful drive-time friendly rock groove reminiscent of bands such as Tears For Fears and Simple Minds in their mid-1980s pomp. Available on all major platforms 13th May. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/danieltakesatrain/miracle-cure

We’ve already discovered a new star of the tennis court, but with the imminent cinema release of the long-awaited No Time To Die, London band Daniel Takes A Train have attempted to resolve the eternal question: ‘Who’ll be the next 007?’ with their very own short film and promo video called The Next Bond. Released alongside their ‘unofficial Bond theme’ Sleeping With The Enemy, the co-production with media agency Rolled Sleeves sees a selection of Bond and Bond girl hopefuls squeeze into tuxedos and glamorous ballgowns as they audition to replace the outgoing Daniel Craig. Will the producers be impressed by their handling of 007’s famous gun barrel sequence, Martini bar etiquette, car chase simulation or the potential banana skin of the ballroom dance pairs scene? Like any Bond film, expect thrills and spills all the way plus viewers can expect a twist in the tale before the band’s punchy ska/pop number fades with a signature John Barry ‘Bond chord’. For Daniel Takes A Train, a five-piece group who have been active since the 1980’s, this timely release follows the success of their big summer hit Year Of The Cat, the dance-infused cover version which has been streamed over 5,000 times in 70 countries worldwide. Well that’s at least one mission accomplished, Miss Moneypenny! Follow the band on Spotify and hear all their releases here...

Daniel Takes A Train's new single takes the title track from Al Stewart’s soft rock classic LP and with the help of renowned producer Pat Collier, who already has the Katrina and the Waves' Summer classic Walking on Sunshine under his belt, have transformed the song into into a breezy club floor filler, ideal for a Ibiza pool party or hot summer’s night under the stars. The release will mark 45 years to the month since the song was originally released in July 1976. During lockdown the band began to experiment with a series of soft rock cover versions of which Year Of The Cat is the stand out track.

With a combined age of 277, veteran London band Daniel Takes A Train go head-to-head with teen pop sensation Billie Eilish (aged only 18) for the most streamed James Bond-themed single to mark the UK cinema release of No Time To Die. Working to a somewhat smaller budget than Billie, their tribute Sleeping With The Enemy was recorded in a south London studio in just one day and tells of a doomed Cold War affair to a sunny ska groove, evoking 2-Tone at its best. “We wanted to recall the excitement of the films scored by John Barry with their exotic influences ranging from calypso to jazz and Eastern European folk music,” explains guitarist Dan. “We love Billie's ballad, but we think our tune will have the nation on their feet dancing!”adds singer and co-writer Paul.
