Dan Miraldi

"Miraldi further whets the appetite for a full-length release with his new EP. His lyrics are whimsical fun, much like the retro beats that infiltrate the song structure he favors. Imagine if Bob Dylan and Elvis started a band together, then you’d have a pretty good idea as to what Dan Miraldi is all about." - Bill Sullivan, Now This ROCKS!

The Daily News “In Tune” (Pittsburgh, PA): Dan Miraldi “Rock N Roll Band” EP

“Miraldi has outdone himself on the new “Rock N Roll Band” EP. This five-track collection of tunes mixes elements of garage, punk and pop into an intriguing sonic stew – and commands our attention for the too-brief 15- minute run time. [Dan Miraldi is] an artist who definitely needs to be on your radar.” – Jeffery Sisk, Managing Editor, The Daily News

BVS Review: Dan Miraldi “Rock N Roll Band” EP

“Fun, smile effecting lyrics and hip-swaying, toe-tapping music is the mainstay of Dan Miraldi's style of rock. I really enjoyed the [Rock N Roll Band] EP, as it dipped into the vast well of rock-n- roll history and came up with a sound that spans several decades of great pop and rock music.” – Bruce Von Stiers, BVS Reviews

The Ripple Effect

"‘The Holy Roller Stone Revival’ kicks the tires and lights the fires immediately with a strong driving beat and vocals reminiscent of a powerful preacher lecturing his flock. Although I doubt that young Mr. Miraldi has in fact “…seen it all” as the lyrics suggest, he has certainly seen enough to create this rollicking song, with the call to join this particular revival too infectious to ignore. “Lucinda” comes next and offers a very pretty folksy ballad for your listening pleasure. The vocals are hauntingly clear and without any semblance of a whine. Very endearing. “Tease” brings the processional to an end with obvious nods to early upbeat Beatles material after a brief keyboard introduction. The bottom line is that anyone looking for songs that will bring cheer and happiness to their day should check these out, post haste. Just don’t blame me when all three come unbidden into your head and you’re forced to sing along.” – Penfold, The Ripple Effect

BMF Review: Dan Miraldi ‘Tease’ [EP]

[Dan Miraldi] writes pop songs that have a garage rock vibe. I hope "Tease" is a prelude to a full-length record because it surely whets the appetite. The three energetic songs play to his strengths and deliver a memorable hook while flaunting his fondness for alternative and indie rock. The title track and "The Holy Roller Stone Revival" are my favorites, but the laid back "Lucinda" provides a nice break between the two. I recommend Miraldi if you like Material Issue, Posies, and The Knack. – Bill Sullivan, BMF

MusicZeitgeist.com: “Dan Miraldi brings the raw back to rawk and all is well”

“There is real song writing, playing, melody writing. In other words, all of the suspicions and wariness fade away after ten seconds, presumably as long as it takes to dissolve the jadedness and cynicism, and then you find your head stuck deep inside the speaker cone, wanting to rock the f*** out with some seriously catchy, smacking Rock’n'Roll from some young’uns still full of piss and vinegar from the Rock’n'Roll capital of the world. I won’t bother to start pulling out lazy comparisons like Ramones, Stooges or *gasp* Strokes, (s*** sometimes it suggests the best of Phoenix, or even even stranger – Bowie, Smiths or Queen) because they are only similar in energy and catchiness. In fact, within four or five songs, you will hear all manner of styles, not only three-chord rock, whose only constant is Miraldi’s charismatic voice which quivers and wobbles with intention, and generally just great songwriting. A promising act to keep your ears on.” – Ighuaran, Editor-In-Chief, MusicZeitgeist.com

Buzz Bin Magazine: “Dan Miraldi: Tease”

“Dan Miraldi, the NE Ohio-based musician whose candy-sweet pop songs are underpinned with decades of American rock history, recently released Tease, a new three-song solo EP. It’s easy to think of Tease as a kind of appetizer for Miraldi’s future releases: The three songs- “Lucinda”, “The Holy Roller Stone Revival” and the title track- demonstrate a broad range of musical talents and lyrical subjects, and provide a provoking sampling of what Miraldi is capable of.” – Molly Lehman, Buzz Bin Magazine

"[Dan Miraldi is] a recent college grad who has been a part of the Cleveland music scene since high school. Watch out for this guy, this CD is really good, at times he sounds like a 70’s folk rocker, other times like a young Elvis Costello." - Greg Cielic, CoolCleveland.com

Buzz Bin Magazine

"It’s hard for any contemporary band to operate outside the influence of the Sixties, one of the most musically revolutionary periods of the century—and Dan Miraldi, a Northeast Ohio native who recently released Thirsty, his debut album, is no exception. ... the idealism of the decade also styles the way Miraldi positions himself as a singer and, ultimately, how his music affects those who’re listening...“I try to make my music joyful,” says Miraldi. Maybe it won’t solve any traffic jams, but the album does make you feel good. ... it is still joy that pervades regardless of the song Miraldi’s singing—joy of music, and of the possibilities it presents. The diverse range of genres and artists he emulates is proof in itself. It’s Dan’s enthusiasm, perhaps, that’s the most appealing element of Thirsty—the joy that makes you want to find out what thrills him so genuinely. Thirsty is available on Amazon, iTunes, and CD Baby." – Molly Lehman, Buzz Bin Magazine
