The Dare is the solo project of vocalist, songwriter and producer Harrison Patrick Smith. After bursting onto the scene with the ubiquitous "Girls," his much lauded The Sex EP drew widespread praise from critics and fellow artists alike. His explosive live shows have sold out across North America and Europe, and his legendary DJ sets, honed at his signature downtown Manhattan party Freakquencies, have soundtracked parties for Gucci, Celine and many more. He has shared stages and collaborated with Charli xcx, Yves Tumor, Water From Your Eyes and a host of others.

New York City is horny again. Blame The Dare.
Harrison Patrick Smith's new project revels in the aesthetics of late 2000s bloghouse with a post- COVID air of abandonment. Equal parts anthemic and cheeky, The Dare's quotable bangers make a compelling case for the electroclash revival.
"Dancepunk and electroclash represent a lot of my personal ideals about music," he explains. "It should be fun, dangerous, somewhat punk and primitive, but still tasteful and stylish."
Harrison is a fixture in New York City's thriving club scene. His DJ residency, Freakquencies, draws hordes of downtown cool kids to sticky-floored underground clubs every Thursday.
After three years getting communally cock-blocked by a global pandemic, the city's restless youth is hungry for an artist to embody the party. As The Dare, Harrison Patrick Smith steps up to the plate: "What I do is not that complicated. It's about the energy. It's about giving people permission to have a good time."
