Interview: Danny Martin of the band WICKED – Recorded January 2026
WICKED lives for rock ‘n’ roll. The kind that lights a fire in your blood and puts that crazy in your eyes! The perfect escape. High-energy rock ‘n’ roll built on the classics and inspired by the now. An All-American Rock band from New York formed by brothers Chad Michael and Danny Martin, along with lead guitarist Scotty V and drummer Gunnar Coston, completing the rock & roll machine.
The Gasparilla Pirate Festival is on January 30, and the New York rockers Wicked will be a part of the festivities! “Tampa” Earl had a chance to sit down with Danny, where they discussed being a part of the Gasparilla parade, their latest single “Obsession,” and their upcoming album Go Rebel. Rock at Night also got the scoop on Wicked’s activities for the remainder of 2026, including a journey west for the band to attend the Metal Hall of Fame ceremonies for 2026 and breaking the news of their upcoming tour with Vicious Rumors.

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
