This Chicago based rock band has been inspiring audiences and fans since 2002 with passionate lyrics, psychedelic guitar solos, intricate drum beats, and powerful vocals. Certain Daze has recently completed recording the first half of their album, “Free and Easily”. They chose this as the title song because the Band feels it’s a good Motto for living your life, both in the music world and the real world.” Daniel Pouse’s (band leader) original song writing transcends generations, energizing audiences and leaves them always wanting one more song. Recently, Certain Daze has been rocking the suburbs of Chicago, and is now preparing for a busy summer of concerts throughout the Chicago-land area

Daniel Pouse started with studying the violin but was always fascinated by rock music. The guitar quickly became an extension of his being as he easily replicated the sounds of the rock legends he admires such as led Zeppelin, pink Floyd, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton. His soulful guitar playing was mirrored through his emotionally intense Songwriting. Daniel can capture his intense emotions and translate them into his lyrics and music where time stands still and all that exists is his guitar and creativity. You can actually feel his passion through the sound of his vocals and the mood of his music. By High School Daniel had recruited several musicians to play his music and won the Battle of the bands with his first song “Free and Easily”. He soon discovered that not everyone is as passionate and dedicated to music as he. When Daniel first presented his works to other musicians, as a band Leader, he quickly came to the realization that he would have to guard his creativity and desire to succeed from negative forces. This experience and his views on optimism over pessimism led to “Rise to the Occasion.” His original band was eventually disbanded and he was forced to find new musicians to replace them.

Enter a 1958 Ludwig drum set handed down from their grandfather who was a professional drummer. His younger brother Kyle Pouse began practicing basic rhythms; speed and precision came naturally as he pounded out drum beats from legends Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, and Chad Smith. Collaborating with his brother, he created riveting beats and fills for Daniel’s original songs. Spending hours at a time jamming, they soon realized that it was time to start sharing their music with the world. In order to do live shows a bass player was first on their list of requirements.
