TRACK PREMIERE: DES ROCS “LET ME LIVE, LET ME DIE”
Des Rocs, aka Danny Rocco, is probably best known as one half of synth-rock duo Secret Weapons who toured with Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and more over the past few years. His new solo project explores a side of Danny that is more strictly rock — an amazing throwback and homage to Freddie Mercury and the fuzz boxy rock legends before him. As the follow up from “HVY MTL DRMR” and “Used to the Darkness,” the new tune is anthemic and flamboyant all at once.

TRACK PREMIERE: YOUNGBLOOD "DARK PLACE"
Lead Vocalist Alexis Young says of the song, “‘Dark Place' speaks to the masochistic tendency of repeatedly making the same mistake and not understanding the compromising effects of that until it's too late. Sometimes you really need to have something completely fall apart and be destroyed before you are able to fully understand its value. It is the thrilling allure of pressing the self-sabotage button and watching what unfolds before you."
