Described as a “a trip back to the greatest years of classic rock music”, Derap’s sophomore album Viva Rock N’ Roll is out on 23rd May 23rd via Metalville Records, with new single ‘Setting Sun’ out now.
‘Setting Sun’ is described as an epic song that brings back the style and sound of the 80s. With its dominant guitars and perfect vocal harmonies, ‘Setting Sun’ is a refreshing journey back to the days of real, handmade rock n’ roll. The lyrics are a reflection on grief and mortality and a promise to meet again in brighter days.
Check out the lyric video for ‘Setting Sun’ and previous single ‘Last Fall’ here at RAMzine.
Featuring Jacob Deraps on vocals, guitars and bass with Josh Gallagher on drums and vocals, this young Canadian band has been building a solid reputation, and as listeners will note ‘Last Fall’ offers a nostalgic sound and vibe, with dominant guitars and vocal harmonies, with its tales of love fading like the ever-changing shades of last fall.
The album is said to feature a nostalgic but unique sound and vibe, with dominant guitar riffs & solos, angelic vocal harmonies, deep and emotional, as well as fun lyrics, catchy musical hooks and choruses, and a variety of songs and styles that will keep you excited from beginning to end.
