New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The rock musician from the Bronx, New York known as Rocko-Rocks has released his latest and greatest EP record to date, titled, "Tell Me What You're All About." The album is comprised of five original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. It is part rock 'n' roll, part R 'n' B, part dance and part groove. An album with style and swagger in every note, beat and lyric, "Tell Me What You're All About" is certain to place Rocko-Rocks on the rock map for years to come.
Rocko-Rocks began his music career at the age of five, playing drums and percussion. His move to California was intended solely for the sake of forwarding his artistic efforts. The move worked, and by 15 he was performing live in an opening rock group for bands such as
Megadeth and Lita Ford. For years he played in the Central and Southern California circuits until his crew disbanded, and he began to find it difficult to find rock venues as the atmosphere quickly changed to a pop and hip-hop mentality.
This was the beginning of the current, contemporary Rocko-Rocks sound, which is signified by his overlaying rock 'n' roll elements such as keyboard and guitar on top of R 'n' B and hip-hop beats. The result is an amalgam of danceable pop music that feels like traditional house, yet retains the singing and the riffs of nightclub rock 'n' roll.
"I have a wide range of influences," Rocko-Rocks writes, "from
Dream Theater and
Whitesnake to Rush. Since I play drums and enjoy the dance stuff as well, I also like Bruno Mars, Usher, Katy Perry, and Chris Brown."
The themes of his new EP are largely interpersonal.
"It's a mix of relationship material," he comments on this, "from girlfriends' head games to having a long-distance relationship."
"Tell Me What You're All About" by Rocko-Rocks is available online worldwide beginning 26 November 2013.
The "Tell Me What You're All About" is distributed globally by MondoTunes (www.MondoTunes.com) and is available at iTunes or www.top40-charts.com for convenient purchase and download.
