Des Rocs<\/strong> will release new album To Hell and Back<\/em> on June 12.<\/span><\/p>\n The rocker has 11 tracks of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll done his own way and it is great.<\/span><\/p>\n Opener When the Love is Gone<\/em> begins with a hip-hop style intro before a sick guitar lick and bass line. It has a great guitar line throughout and shows off Danny Rocco\u2019s<\/strong> slick vocals which would fit right into any 80s rock band.<\/span><\/p>\n Fall Together<\/em> begins with an acoustic guitar line before going into some haunting licks. The track talks about not wanting to see someone again and falling together. The strings add a dramatic element to the song and I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n The line \u201cI\u2019m only happy in my dreams<\/em>\u201d is extremely relatable. It comes from Sing Me Back to Sleep<\/em>, and the majority of the lyrics to the song are extremely relatable to my mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n The way Danny\u2019s<\/strong> vocals waver in The More She Wants<\/em> gives me shivers and reminds me of old school Creeper<\/strong> and the way the instrumentation momentarily changes halfway through the song really makes sure you\u2019re paying attention, or you will jump.<\/span><\/p>\n The Riders of Red Hook (Legends Never Die)<\/em> is an absolute banger of a hard rock track. It\u2019s quick, has soaring whiskey-soaked vocals, a prominent bassline and powerful drums throughout and sick guitar licks. There\u2019s even a Queen<\/strong>-esque vocal overlay.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s an almost country-style start to closing track The Way<\/em>, before it kicks into a hard rock classic.<\/span><\/p>\n Des Rocs<\/strong> has created a brilliant album in To Hell and Back<\/em>. It is extremely varied, shows off Danny\u2019s<\/strong> vocals and a range of musical talent throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n Danny<\/strong> said he wanted to make rock \u2018n\u2019 roll his own and he really has with this album. I feel like the first half of the record is stronger than the second half, but as a whole it works extremely well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
