In fact, Deraps’s sophomore album Viva Rock N’ Roll is a trip back to the greatest years of Classic Rock music. The album features a nostalgic but unique sound & vibe, with dominant guitar riffs & solos, angelic vocal harmonies, deep & emotional, as well as fun lyrics, catchy musical hooks and choruses, and a variety of songs & styles that will keep you excited from beginning to end. With its raw feel & mix, Deraps bring back authenticity, liveness & groove to Rock N’ Roll, topped with a fully hand drawn cover artwork that delivers a powerful message. A breath of fresh air in the Rock genre, and in today’s music.
