On a late September evening, the majority of the audience at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA had come to see the undeniable rock ‘n’ roll train that is The Struts. Yet, at the end of the night, most of them left with a newfound love for Brooklyn’s alt-rock outfit, Des Rocs.
The band, formed in 2018 by former Secret Weapons member Danny Rocco as solo side project, brought his acclaimed energetic, rock ‘n’ roll performance to XL and had the crowd jumping and dancing. He performed his latest single titled, “Used To The Darkness,” which was the crowd’s favorite. Des Rocs set the vibe for an incredible night with The Struts, and definitely gained a few loyal followers that night.
