It\u2019s shaping up to be another busy year for New Zealand born, London based rockers Desperate Measures. Following their mini album \u2018Rinsed\u2019 on Easy Action Records and a full UK tour with Paul Cook\u2019s post-Pistols rockers The Professionals at the end of last year, Desperate Measures have started recording their debut full length album, due early 2023. Working once again with Andy Brook (who has produced, engineered, and toured with the like of Status Quo, Ginger Wildheart, Wonk Unit, Hayseed Dixie\u2026) at The Brook Studios in Wallington, Surrey, Desperate Measures have completed work on a new single titled \u2018Thinking Of England\u2019 that lyrically captures the yearning to escape from a place or a situation you might not want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single will be released in time for the Queens Jubilee on June 3rd. Desperate Measures will play a single launch show at London’s Water Rats Theatre on May 20th to coincide. Says Eugene Butcher, “we’ll be showcasing a few songs from our forthcoming album, plus the new single which has just happened to coincide with the Queens Jubilee. And we’ve got The Duel <\/strong>and Seven Days and Doesn’t Die<\/strong> along for the ride so expect a right Royal knees up!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
