Des Rocs
Feb 21, 2020
“Used To The Darkness” is the latest single out now via CO5 Music from the New York-based independent artist Danny Rocco better known as Des Rocs. The track is a pulse-pounding, vocally soul-filled, fuzz boxed tune about being lost.
Rocco explains, “Rock was the most culturally disrupting movement in music history, yet somehow today the word has lost something. So many artists worry about sub-genres and lose the greater energy of what it means to say you’re a rock artist. I think there’s a lot of great songs out there waiting to be revealed if we could embrace the ‘rock artist.’”
Before Des Rocs, Rocco was just one half of the electro-rock duo Secret Weapons, who broke through with their soulful pop sound with the underground hit, “Something New.” When it comes to this new project, Danny says, “Des Rocs is something I’ve felt inside myself since the first day I started making music. It’s a more personal expression of the energies that make me tick.” This past November, Des Rocs released the EP “Martyr Parade.” Des Rocs has opened for Grandson, The Struts, the Rolling Stones and Muse. He has gained more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify courtesy of his singles.
Des Rocs is currently touring the U.S. with The Glorious Sons on their A War For Everything Tour. This summer, he will perform at several music festivals including Shaky Knees and Sonic Temple.
