Kevin and Mike of Great Danes

On this week’s episode of Caught on the Mike, I sit down with Kevin and Mike of Great Danes — a project built on experience, reinvention, and unfinished business.

Longtime fans will remember Kevin and Mike from their earlier chapter in Halifax, the melodic pop-punk/emo band that helped soundtrack the mid-2000s alternative scene with high-energy anthems and emotionally charged songwriting. After years of growth, perspective, and life beyond that era, they’ve reemerged with Great Danes — a band that feels more refined, more intentional, and creatively fearless.

In this conversation, we talk about what it really means to evolve as artists, how their Halifax years shaped them, and why Great Danes isn’t about chasing nostalgia — it’s about building something that reflects who they are right now. From touring memories to the creative risks that come with starting fresh, this one hits on legacy, growth, and the hunger to keep making meaningful music.
