July 30, 2021 - New York, NY: Today, the NYC-native Des Rocs announces his debut album, A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place, with the official video for his explosive new single “MMC”. The album will release on September 24, 2021 via 300 Entertainment (Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Highly Suspect), and kicks off his highly-anticipated debut headline tour DES ROCS ALIVE, which begins at Firefly Music Festival alongside 20+ dates at iconic venues - including the Bowery Ballroom in New York, The Troubadour in Los Angeles and many more. Listen to “MMC” HERE Watch the Official Video for “MMC” via YouTube HERE Pre-order A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place HERE “‘MMC’ is about people who are obsessed with being anything but themselves,” explains Des Rocs. “It's a roller coaster of a record that was written all at once in this kinda chaotic catharsis. My first album is a journey and this first song really represents the odyssey I'm gonna take you on this fall.” Self-recorded, A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place demonstrates that Des Rocs is in a league of his own. The album is bold and intoxicating, drawing on rock and roll, punk, and electronic music to forge a “bedroom arena rock” sound that’s at once deeply intimate and profoundly expansive. Lead single “MMC” swerves from ferocious to playful and back again as it rails against all things fake and manufactured. The official video showcases a pulse-pounding, genre-bending, performance juxtaposed with a character’s brutal exploration of identity. “The ‘MMC’ video is all about losing your soul in the quest for fame and sacrificing who you are for what you think others want from you. I wanted to tell this story and show you what a real show feels like, in case ya forgot.” Kicking off the summer with his DES ROCS ALIVE livestream event, Des immersed fans in an incendiary live performance spectacle with the promise of more to come. His upcoming tour, DES ROCS ALIVE, will hit 20+ iconic venues around the country, ending with a hometown release show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on November 4. Des will also be performing at Firefly Music Festival on September 25 in Dover, DE, featuring Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Lizzo, and at the sold out Aftershock Festival on October 8 alongside Metallica, Rancid, and more.
