About this album

Out Of The Silence is Dare’s polished breakthrough, where melodic hard rock meets the hook-driven sweep of classic AOR. Released in 1988, the album established the Irish band as one of the genre’s most distinctive British acts, with Darren Wharton’s strong vocals and keyboard-led arrangements giving the songs a bright, widescreen sound. Built around anthemic writing and clean, radio-friendly production, it balanced hard rock muscle with memorable melodies on standout cuts such as Into the Fire and Nothing Is Stronger Than Love. The result became a touchstone for late-1980s melodic rock and a key release in Dare’s catalogue.
