New York City singer-songwriter Des Rocs has set his sights on reigniting the grandiosity of rock music. The indie rock artist has cultivated a gritty yet infectious sound that nods to vintage rock n’ roll while offering a modern alternative twist. He’s created bombastically loud music constructed unironically for speakers that hit 11, buzzing with all the electricity of contemporary hits.
Already making waves in the US, his brand new single ‘Pieces’ and EP This Is Our Life just dropped via 300 Entertainment (Megan Thee Stallion, Fetty Wap, Young Thug, Cheat Codes).
His music is boundary-bending, risk-taking, riff-driven rock’n’roll. Des is a fourth generation New Yorker whose very life force is synonymous with The City. A dynamic live performer, he is hugely inspired by Elvis, Roy Orbison, Talking Heads, Bruce Springsteen, Queen and Jimi Hendrix. In just his first couple of years, Des Rocs has opened for The Rolling Stones (“…it was so inspiring that they just liked my music and wanted to give it a platform“, Muse (“I can’t begin to tell you how profound a connection I have with their music”), and Grandson to name a few.
On ‘Pieces’, Des Rocs offers a storming, high-octane blast of modern rock. Hook-driven vocal work soars above an explosive mix of fuzzing guitars and punching rhythmic energies on this stadium-worthy effort.
