August 20, 2021 – New York, NY: Today, the NYC-native Des Rocs released “Imaginary Friends,” the second single from his forthcoming debut album, A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place, following the critically acclaimed single “MMC.” The highly anticipated album will be available on September 24 via 300 Entertainment (Megan Thee Stallion, Highly Suspect) and kicks off a 20+ date tour in iconic venues around the country featuring special guests The Velveteers.

“‘Imaginary Friends’ is a personal anthem that draws from a well of escapism,” explains Des Rocs. “For me this song brings up all the darkest parts of myself – the journey of the last few years – and deals with all that darkness in one sort of manic exhale.”
Last month, Des Rocs released “MMC,” the first single from the forthcoming album. The track received instant praise from Loudwire (“addictive”) and Consequence of Sound (“infectious and eclectic”), as well as Rolling Stone and SPIN. In an interview with Des, Alternative Press raved about the “groundbreaking” single: “With fierce, intense vocals and seductively harsh instrumentals, listeners will be taken on a whirlwind of classic-rock-influenced alternative rock that will leave your heart racing and eager to hear the rest of the album.”

His upcoming tour, DES ROCS ALIVE, will hit 20+ iconic venues around the country such as The Troubadour in Los Angeles, The Turf Club in St. Paul and a hometown album release show on November 4 at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. 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.

A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place follows the release of three EPs, which have racked up more than 150 million streams, and shows supporting The Rolling Stones, Muse, Grandson, and many more. The title track to Des Rocs’ most recent EP This Is Our Life, has been streamed 6M+ times and hit Top 20 at Active Rock radio and Top 40 at Alternative radio.
