Young explosive Canadian-Australian power trio DERAPS is already considered a small sensation in the hard rock scene. DERAPS capture the sound and essence of late 70s rock ‘n’ roll with their music. A time when a new generation of bands rocked the global scene, led by Van Halen, who strongly influenced the members of DERAPS.
Such is the case on “My Side Of Town”, the new single from the band’s self-titled debut album (Metalville Records – street date Jun 17th).
The official video for the track can be watched below.
The up-and-coming rock’n’roll band, consists of Canadian guitarist and lead singer Jacob Deraps (winner of the Dweezil & Frank Zappa Fellowship Award 2016), Canadian bassist William Lachance and Australian drummer Josh Gallagher. DERAPS bring a breath of fresh air to the scene, with a sound, a vibe and a style that can be described as exceptional in this form.
The debut album combines 11 songs full of energetic rock’n’roll riffs, polished guitar solos and perfectly tuned harmony vocals.
From the opening salvo “Invasion” to the energetic debut single “Sex, Drugs & Rock N’ Roll” (winner of the Classic Rock Magazine Tracks of the Week), the stomping “Make Ya Groove” to the epic “Veins of my Heart”, the gentle Californian summer mood of “On My Mind” to a cover version of the Sweet super hit “Ballroom Blitz”, this first album already has what it takes to become a classic!
