Sing Song Sung

La Rocca

unsigned

WE SAY

James Roberts (Music Week A&R editor and ITC A&R panellist) raved about Irish band La Rocca so we visited www.larocca.ie. Download Sing Song Sung from there - it's the best demo we've heard yet from a band playing at the In The City conference. Short, sweet, edgy and original yet melodic, with a great vocal. Their live performance last night showed that have not one but many great songs. Together with a blistering stage presence and an obvious enthusiasm for their work and you're got serious contenders for success.
