They may have been busy forging their name on a red-hot anvil for five years, but Despairados are finally ready to ride out. Their terrain is a barren musical landscape thats ready for some good ol pioneering; the natives a lazy breed, fat on past glories but parched of inspiration.
Blazing a dazzling new trail and settling past scores are high on Despairados agenda. First up is reclaiming their song, Everywhere, as their own. A victim of a botched poker game to a freaky-looking crew of English ladiesngents, its since become an anthem of the decadent decade.
Almost twenty years on, its finally emerged as it was originally intended: sinewy, woozy melody lines, a foot-stomping beat and a cracked, raw vocal thats as vulnerable as it is commanding.
With a string of UK dates to coincide with the single release (August 21), the Despairate summer is upon us. Hold tight to that bucking bronco, kid, its going to be a wild one.
Our entire cd "Decapitate the Rattle and Shake" is up for FREE download at MEDIAFIRE! All we want you to do is share the music with your friends and enjoy.
Thanks for your support! Help keep punk rock music alive!
I hate just repeating other people's comments but Jarret is right some of The Crocketts covers were great I also remember "ring of fire" & "crazy little thing called love" - albums of cover versions never did UB40's career any harm!
