Damien DeRose, the talented singer and songwriter behind Peasant, will release his third and most complete album Bound for Glory on April 17th via London-based Schnitzel Records (Ween and Hello=Fire). The follow up to the critically acclaimed and fan favorite Shady Retreat, Bound for Glory is a collection of deep and diverse tracks that reveal new layers in this prolific artist.
Along with Spin Magazine, Daytrotter, CMJ and others, NPR raves, “when armed with a guitar, DeRose makes music that beckons and calls out, as if demanding to be heard. DeRose also has a secret weapon: a voice that seems to expose his very soul.” Magnet Magazine adds “DeRose’s vocals float above acoustic guitar melodies, evoking the lyrical eloquence and delicate arrangements of Rogue Wave and the late Elliot Smith.”

DeRose, now 25, has been actively releasing records for the last four years and has toured extensively with the likes of Cursive, Deer Tick, Albert Hammond Jr. and Steve Earle.
