Containing six tracks of hard-hitting punk with a big helping of rock n&#8217; roll and available on 10\u201d vinyl, CD and download, these recordings feature the new line-up of founder Eugene Butcher, former Glitterati and current Rich Ragany and The Digressions guitarist Gaff, Ricky McGuire (U.K SUBS, The Men They Couldn\u2019t Hang), and former K-Line\/Done Lying Down drummer James Sherry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following the release of \u2018The Rich-Tual\u2019, the stomping first single from the \u2018Rinsed\u2019 sessions released earlier this year comes new single \u2018Flowers At Your Door\u2019. Channelling the dark energy of Iggy Pop, Lords Of The New Church and the Doors, \u2018Flowers At Your Door\u2019 is a brooding rocker that finds Desperate Measures shifting in new directions with their new line-up with excellent results and is available via Spotify, i Tunes and Bandcamp today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlowers was written after being stuck in pretty much self-isolation for 3 months on last years first lockdown as a relationship went down the pan,\u201d explains frontman Eugene Butcher. \u201cIt was a lonely time for a lot of people and this song was born out of all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The video was directed, edited and shot by Craig Temple of Racketeer Pictures and perfectly captures the mood of the song.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16167 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1905\" height=\"1301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021.jpg 1905w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Desperate-Measures-2021-1140x779.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1905px) 100vw, 1905px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Desperate Measures play at London&#8217;s iconic Hope and Anchor on July 30th before heading off on a 13 date U.K tour with the Professionals (Paul Cook-Sex Pistols) in October.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JULY 30TH LONDON HOPE AND ANCHOR (Album launch with Vibrators&#8217;
