We Love Danger! (abbreviated as WLD!) is a punk rock band from Quebec City, Canada formed in January 2009. Many people have referenced them playing a 90's style of melodic punk rock.
An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase, by any method. It may consist of a group of letters or words taken from the full version of the word or phrase, for example, the word abbreviation can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv., or abbrev.; nil by mouth is an abbreviated medical instruction. It may also consist of initials only, a mixture of initials and words, or words or letters representing words in another language. Some types of abbreviations are acronyms, initialisms, or grammatical contractions or crasis.
Punk rock is a rock music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in 1960s garage rock and other forms of what is now known as "proto-punk" music, punk rock bands rejected perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent record labels.
Quebec City, officially Québec, is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec. The city has an estimated population of 531,902 as of July 2016, and the metropolitan area has a population of 800,296 as of July 2016. It is the second largest city in Quebec after Montreal, and the seventh largest metropolitan area and eleventh largest city in Canada.
In 2009, Remy Verreault (ex-GFK, ATM, CP101) and Sonny Letourneau (ex-GFK, Senseless, SonOfaBeat) were looking to start a state of the art punk rock band with the will to bring back this melodic kind of punk seen in the 90's. To do so, they asked long-time friend Bruno Charest (ex-Dual Peak, Crane, Pressure) who joined in to form what will be shortly after known as We Love Danger!
The band rehearsed for a while and finally played shows with numerous bands (Propagandhi, Bad Religion and more) in their career debut. After almost a year of work, WLD! realised that they needed another guitar player to enlarge the sound and add melody to their original recipe. A couple of good contacts in Quebec's music scene referenced Alex Bergeron (ex-Twenty Big Mistakes) as a talented guitarist that could greatly fill this position. Alex accepted the challenge and joined in October 2009. His addition helped widen the horizons of We Love Danger! in terms of sound and ideas.
The band is into their own studio since April 2010 to record what will be their debut Full-Length album. The name for this album and the official release date will be known at the beginning of 2011.
We Love Danger! will go into a European tour kicking off on April 8, 2011. Their first show will take place in London at the Relentless Garage with UK punk legends The Boys.
Their first full-length "Stuck in standards" is out since September 1, 2011 on all the digital distribution sites (iTunes, Spotify, Cdbaby, etc.) and also on www.reverbnation.com for physical copies. The album contains 11 state of the art 90's melodic punk-rock songs.

The photograph on the album cover, which features silhouettes of the band members, resulted from a "lucky accident" after photographer George DuBose's camera malfunctioned.
