As the follow up to his thought-provoking song and controversial video that was banned on Russian TV, “War Hero” New York based (by way of Iran, Vienna & London) artist Rob Decoup releases a new song “Roll” out digitally on February 3.  A new taste of what’s to come from his full-length album Rays of Sun out this spring.

The latest single “Roll” combines heavy crunching guitars and jaw-dropping choruses while not losing any pop appeal and flourishes with touches of classic rock influences and some truly great guitar work.  Roll is a fast rock 'n' roll song, and it deals with letting go and not taking life too serious…not being afraid of death and understanding it's just a new beginning.” –  explains Decoup

Decoup’s upcoming album Rays Of Sun encompasses a slew of songs that’ll capture the hearts and minds of rock and rollers. To compliment this colorful arrangeme nt of storytelling, Decoup enlisted veteran producer Mike Plotnikoff (Aerosmith, Buckcherry) and assembled a sturdy cast of players to realize the rhythm and urgency of his songs. “Eric Friedman from Creed is on guitar, Marty O’Brien from Lita Ford’s band plays bass, Phil X who replaced Richie Sambora as touring guitarist for Bon Jovi lays down some nice leads and Dan Welby did the basic drum tracks.”says Decoup.

Decoup has a band of seasoned players he gathers for touring and even for the occasional festival opportunity like the day he supported Iron Maiden at Topfest 2013 in Slovakia and hammered out an impressive 45 minute set to the delight of 30,000 central European fans.  He also performed strong sets at the venerable CMJ music conference in New York, in the Calvin Klein music lounge at Lollapalooza, impressed the tastemakers at Austin’s SXSW and most recently shared the stage with Saving Abel on their 2014 tour run.

Above all, the lyrics throughout Rays of Sun are intensely personal, powerful, never ambiguous and delivered with complete sincerity.
