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 \u2018Thinking Of England\u2019, \u2018Back To The Rats\u2019, and the title track \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019, the album was recorded with Andy Brook (who has produced, engineered, and toured with the likes of Status Quo, Ginger Wildheart, Wonk Unit, Hayseed Dixie) at The Brook Studios, Wallington, Surrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the opening roar of &#8216;Back To The Rats&#8217;, the Sex Pistols riffarama of &#8216;The Rich-Tual&#8217; and the danced-up Stooges grooves of &#8216;Enjoy The Ride&#8217;, through to the Psychedelic Furs like &#8216;Untouchable&#8217;, \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019 is anything but sublime. Instead, it&#8217;s a huge statement of intent from a band that back up their in-your-face attitude 100% on the stage. Having just completed a roaring UK tour with Cleveland, Ohio punk legends the Dead Boys, and currently in the midst of a dual headline tour with friends Janus Stark, Desperate Measures have blasted out another smouldering track ahead of the album\u2019s release next week in \u2018Seven Sisters\u2019, their epic ode to their North London manor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI live and work on Seven Sisters Road, one of London&#8217;s most deprived streets,\u201d explains frontman Eugene Butcher. \u201cThere&#8217;s glimmers of hope against the odds but desperation and despair are always near.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That sense of anguish is perfectly channelled in the song\u2019s moody, fiery heaviness. \u201cThe money train never stops, and you never see the cops on Seven Sisters\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lexington-March-30.jpg 1417w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Desperate Measures are celebrating the release of \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019 with a special album launch gig at The Lexington, London on March 30<sup>th<\/sup> with The DeRellas and Thrill City.
