Unsigned Entertainment

D-DAY 4-EVER is a 4-piece rock band based in Centurion, South Africa. Jaco on vox & guitar and Roy on bass & backing vox are 2 of the founding members of the band Orange, along with Derius on guitar & backing vox and Travis on drums form the mechanics that is the D-DAY device that is committed to churning out good old fashioned rock 'n roll.

DD4E's style of rock is best defined as an explosive union between melody and balls-to-the-wall Rock! And like a good card game, their songs send you on a roller coaster ride of sounds with a ballad or two that will relax you one moment before Hard Rock mayhem kicks in and hits you with an adrenalin rush that will turn your world upside down.

With a high-energy stage performance, utilising every inch of the stage, DD4E puts on a show that can only be described as a sensory overload!
