New Zealand born, London-based rockers Desperate Measures follow 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, with a brand-new single today titled \u2018Thinking Of England.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded 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, \u2018Thinking Of England\u2019 is the first glimpse of Desperate Measures\u2019 debut full-length album due early 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Thinking Of England\u2019 is a high-energy, charging power-pop eruption that guitarist Michael Gaffney says is \u201cabout leaving a bad situation, whether it be physically or mentally, trying to find light at the end of the tunnel and staying hopeful, realising that you might be fucked now, but it\u2019s not always going to be that way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
