UK TOUR STARTS FEBRUARY 14 TH WITH THE DEAD BOYS!
DESPERATE MEASURES, the high energy, London punk and rollers release their brand-new album Sublime Destruction on March 22nd on Cadiz Music. Loaded with eleven personal and political, hook laden anthems, the album was written over the last two years and during the pandemic. Featuring previous singles ‘Thinking Of England’, ‘Back To The Rats’, and the title track ‘Sublime Destruction’, the album was recorded with Andy Brook (who has produced, engineered, and toured with the like of Status Quo, Ginger Wildheart, Wonk Unit, Hayseed Dixie) at The Brook Studios, Wallington, Surrey. From the opening roar of Back To The Rats, the Sex Pistols riffarama of The Rich-Tual and the danced-up Stooges grooves of Enjoy The Ride through to the Psychedelic Furs like Untouchable and the epic ode to North London, Seven Sisters ‘Sublime Destruction’, is
anything but sublime. Instead, its a huge statement of intent from a band that back up their in-your- face attitude 100% on the stage.
