DESPERATION BLVD releases new music video “North East Boulevard” from their self-titled debut EP

Since March 13, the Italian Hard Rockers presenting the new Music Video for the track “North-East Boulevard” from their self-titled debut EP – featuring former Accept singer David Reece and Thomas Silver, ex-guitarist of Hardcore Superstar, as musical guests!

DESPERATION BLVD -“North East Boulevard” Youtube video below:

DESPERATION BLVD is a new project from Italy, born from an idea of two experienced musicians, guitarist Alex ‘Crown’ Corona and drummer Elvis ‘Hell’ Ortolan. The trio is completed by bassist Matteo ‘Matt’ Martinelli.

Clear echoes of other well-known cult bands such as Faster Pussycat, Bulletboys, L.A. Guns, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bang Tango, Vain, Babylon A.D., Tuff and Dangerous Toys round off the lively, uplifting sound.

The band’s current debut is a self-titled six-song EP consisting of five enormously crisply orchestrated and cool vocalized original songs as well as the Duran Duran classic “Hold Back The Rain” – a vibrant and enormously casual cover version that immediately defines the strong personality and unique SLEAZE’N’ROLL style of DESPERATION BLVD.

This deliciously snappy release is enriched by various guest musicians.
Among others, former Accept singer David Reece is featured in “North-East Boulevard”, and Thomas Silver from Hardcore Superstar contributed a wonderfully fluid guitar solo for the number.

Serenity vocalist Fabio D’Amore, on the other hand, shows in “Hold Back The Rain” that he has a remarkably wide range of skills, while the no less vocally strong, changeable Alessia Scolletti from Temperance in “Sorry (I Don’t Want You)” partly goes completely out of herself.

Recorded and co-produced by Michele Guaitoli, known from the bands Visions Of Atlantis, Overtures and Temperance at The Groove Factory Studio, “Desperation BLVD” has been released officially on December 6, 2020.
