From Facebook to Festival Dreams: Danama’s Underground Uprising

In this special episode of Digging Up the Underground, we sit down with Rachel Harney, the powerhouse vocalist and guitarist behind the rising UK alt-rock band Danama. From forming via a Facebook post in 2021 to dropping their bold, emotionally-charged debut album Did You Know?, Danama has emerged as a voice for the unheard—combining indie, pop, and punk rock with deeply personal storytelling about mental health, identity, and empowerment.

Rachel opens up about the origin of the band’s name, the journey to self-producing their debut under Epictronic Records, and how they bring both high energy and raw vulnerability to the stage. We dive into their creative process, standout tracks like “The Devil in Me” and “On My Skin,” and what it means to lead a female-fronted rock act in today’s evolving music scene.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a deep exploration of music made for those battling their inner critic and ready to scream back.
