“Danny’s War” is a powerful, emotionally charged rock single from Acacia, blending gritty instrumentation with raw, thought-provoking storytelling. Inspired by modern conflict and Britain’s military history, the track explores the human cost of war – not through politics, but through the eyes of those asked to fight it.

Driven by urgent guitars and anthemic intensity, “Danny’s War” captures both the pride and sacrifice of soldiers, while confronting the frustration and anger surrounding decisions made far from the front line. It’s a song that doesn’t glorify war, but instead shines a light on its consequences — honouring those who serve while questioning the systems that send them.
With its blend of emotional depth and explosive energy, “Danny’s War” positions Acacia as a band unafraid to tackle meaningful subject matter, delivering a track that feels both timely and timeless.
Acacia are a South Wales rock band blending gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and emotionally charged songwriting, quickly building a reputation for high-energy live shows and standout releases. Formerly known as Paisley Parc, the band gained national attention with airplay on BBC Radio Wales, features in Wonderland Magazine, and UK tours.
Their early releases — Complicated, Something On You, and Don’t Play Stupid — were recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda, helping establish their punchy, melodic sound. In late 2024, the band shared stages with Florence Black and Revoker before stepping back to refine their direction and evolve their sound.
Re-emerging in 2025 as Acacia — a name rooted in Jack Mason and Ieuan Evans’ beginnings on Acacia Avenue — the band entered a new chapter with bass guitarist Connor Jones and drummer John O’Reilly completing the lineup. Acacia marked their arrival with a sold-out hometown headline show in November 2025, signalling a confident new era and growing local demand. Now in 2026, the band are in the studio working with Tristan Thomas (Florence Black), preparing new material and expanding their reach across UK stages and festivals.
Upcoming appearances include a support slot with Public Order for their Farewell Gig:
1st August 2026 at Clwb Crown, Merthyr Tydfil
Acacia are: Jack Mason, Ieuan Evans and John O’Reilly
