After the breakup Nick Danger and the Danger City Rebels and departure of original bassist "Popsicle" Pete Connell, they recruited ex-Tremolo bassist Terry O'Reilly. Although they played a few more gigs as Nick Danger, they agreed that the DCR was over. The sonic direction of their music had evolved. Dangeroso's original surf/rock sound had broadened to include other influences, including O'Reilly's 90's grunge-rock inspired bass stylings and Nielson's funk-infused drum beats.
In late 2008 they released their debut EP on German record label Vollwert Records Berlin. This was followed up in 2010 by their 14 track CD "I'm there...you're here". Both albums featured Mike Dubue of the Hilotrons/Kepler (band) and was recorded at Bovasound in Ottawa.
The Social Icons songs have charted on Canadian campus radio charts and have been in rotation on CBC and international indie radio stations.
