New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The rising New York rock & roll artist Des Rocs has announced a new US tour supporting Slipknot's Corey Taylor. The announcement follows his recent US headline tour in support of his critically-acclaimed sophomore album Dream Machine that saw sold out performances at Racket in NYC, The Troubadour in Los Angeles and many more. Des Rocs' new single "I Am The Lightning" is the most added at rock radio and is currently sitting a #27 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart and #27 at rock radio between The Rolling Stones and Nickelback.
"I'm honored to be hitting the road with Corey Taylor. He's a living legend. it's gonna be the best damn rock show of 2024 hands down," said DannyRocco aka Des Rocs.
Produced by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, PJ Harvey), Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5) and Danny Rocco, Dream Machine plays like a bolt of energy coursing through the glory days of rock, metal, and grunge, united within his signature "bedroom arena rock" sound. Rocco spoke with Consequence of Sound about the new album who proclaimed, "In a gloomy world where many musicians are making gloomy music, Des Rocs sounds like the damn antidote."
Des Rocs released the album along with the official video for "Dream Machine," a riveting cinematic ride that kicks off the album's arrival in appropriately anthemic fashion. The release was preceded by the single "I Am The Lightning" and official video for "Nowhere Kid," which followed the release of his "thrilling new single" (Consequence of Sound) "Never Ending Moment," which has been streamed more than 3 million times on Spotify alone. Guitar World called the song an "essential rock anthem" and raved, "Windmilling acoustic guitars and wailing Flying V solos are the order of the day, and they sound colossal."
Dream Machine follows Des Rocs' 2021 debut full length album A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place. The album received wide-ranging praise from outlets like Loudwire ("addictive"), Guitar World ("fierce"), Rolling Stone, SPIN, American Songwriter and Alternative Press, who describes Des Rocs' sound as "a whirlwind of classic-rock-influenced alternative rock that will leave your heart racing."
