“I think it’s funny that a lot of people say that’s my name. We used to make these really dumb, funny YouTube videos. We would have to promote a CD or a record a couple of years ago when the band was together,” Joe explained to Vh1 about his fan-given DJ name of DJ Danger.

He added, “When we first started we didn’t just want to make a YouTube video and be like, ‘Go buy our album.’ It just felt like that was so weird and so we were like, you know what, let’s just have some fun with it. We started to make these funny videos and in one of them I pretended to be a DJ – I was 15 – and the name stuck I guess.”
