The essentials

Quick Facts About Dare Force

  • Formed in 1981 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Johnny O'Neil and Brian Bart; early lineup included Brian Lorenson and Johnnie Bolin. ([spirit-of-metal.com](https://www.spirit-of-metal.com/en/band/Dare_Force))
  • Released three albums in the 1980s: Makin' Our Own Rules (1985), a self-titled Dare Force (1985), and Firepower (1989). ([spirit-of-metal.com](https://www.spirit-of-metal.com/en/band/Dare_Force))
  • Firepower (1989) originally on Logic Records; later reissued in various formats (Metal Mayhem / 2003 reissue references). ([heavyharmonies.com](https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=1346&CDName=Firepower&utm_source=openai))
  • A reformed Dare Force lineup released Callin' Your Name in 2018 (self-released under Dare Force LLC). ([first-avenue.com](https://first-avenue.com/performer/dare-force/))
  • Notable live history includes sharing stages with KISS, Ted Nugent, Triumph, Kansas, UFO, and Ratt; original band ended live activity in 2002 with a 2017/2018 revival. ([first-avenue.com](https://first-avenue.com/performer/dare-force/))
  • Public social/artist presence primarily via Johnny O'Neil’s channels (Bandcamp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X/Twitter, etc.), as Dare Force does not maintain a distinct, widely publicized standalone social footprint.
