We had the pleasure of interviewing Des Rocs over Zoom video.

NYC-native Des Rocs released the official video for \u201cManic Memories,\u201d his first single release since his critically-acclaimed 2021 debut album A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place. \u201cManic Memories\u201d combines the cathartic choruses and DIY-aesthetic that is the hallmark of Des' signature "bedroom arena rock" sound. The news follows Des Rocs\u2019 July 4 announcement on social media that he will be independently releasing a string of new singles this year.

\u201c\u2018Manic Memories\u2019 is a letter to the demons that haunt our past,\u201d explains Danny Rocco, best known by his stage name Des Rocs. \u201cThe last few years have been a roller coaster, and writing about those demons provided the courage to navigate my own darkness. For anyone haunted by their past - I hope this song can be a beacon of light to guide you through the wilderness.\u201d

In September 2021, Des Rocs released his debut album A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place and received instant praise from Loudwire (\u201caddictive\u201d), Guitar World (\u201cfierce\u201d), Rolling Stone, SPIN and Alternative Press (\u201cgroundbreaking\u201d). The album received further acclaim from The Aquarian, American Songwriter and Premier Guitar. Consequence of Sound named the album\u2019s first single \u201cMMC\u201d \u201c...one of the most exhilarating rock singles of 2021\u201d while SPIN named his album release show at Bowery Ballroom one of the \u201cBest Concerts of 2021,\u201d praising his \u201cWembley-size energy\u201d and proclaiming \u201cDes Rocs is not to be missed in 2022.\u201d
