Des Rocs

Based in New York, Des Rocs is the rock project of musician and singer Danny Rocco, originally from the New York area and first active in the pop-rock duo Secret Weapons. Under the name Des Rocs, he developed from the late 2010s a songwriting approach centered on alternative rock, blending rock'n'roll energy, blues influences and touches of melodic hard rock, with a clear taste for direct choruses and dense vocal arrangements. After several singles, Des Rocs released the EP 'Let The Vultures In' in 2018, followed by 'Martyr Parade' in 2019 and 'This Is Our Life' in 2020, which established his aesthetic between retro sonics and modern production. The debut album 'A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place' appeared in 2021, followed by 'Dream Machine' in 2023, confirming a focus on guitar, voice and a strong live band dynamic. On tour, Des Rocs plays both small clubs and larger stages, often as an opening act for contemporary rock artists, and builds a repertoire suited equally to clubs and festivals.
