Des Rocs

About

Des Rocs is the stage name of New York City rock artist Danny Rocco, who built his project around a raw, high-voltage blend of hard rock, glam and blues influences. He broke through with the single "Let Me Live / Let Me Die" and his 2021 debut album A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place, then signed to Sumerian Records for 2023's Dream Machine. On the road he has opened for acts including Muse and The Rolling Stones, and his theatrical, physically intense live shows have become his calling card.
