Artist
For the past 18 years Marco Rocca has been writing, playing and performing music that comes from the heart; a heart that has a preference for social commentary. His early years, not unlike many other teens forming their first bands, were spent with punk rock. Touring and releasing albums in true D.I.Y. fashion with his band, Hope, was how Rocca spent 1998 – 2007. Hope toured Canada on their own and eventually as opening act for D.O.A., Chixdiggit, SNFU, Big Wig and Good Riddance, and also landed a spot on the North American leg of Vans Warped Tour in 2002. Hope has released 4 studio albums as well as a live album. In 2005 Rocca formed a new band called The Nuclear; a band that concentrated more on the pop side of Rocca’s song writing and one that would later back him up for his solo efforts. In 2008 The Nuclear released their self-titled debut. Marco’s first solo album, Hopeless In The Haze, was released in April 2010. Recorded entirely at home, the album features Marco performing most of the instrumentation. Again, this singer songwriter took a new direction. Hopeless In The Haze is a more acoustic based indie album that moves from solo singer songwriter style tracks to full band productions. The Nuclear are currently recording their second album and recording sessions for Marco's second solo album are planned for April 2011.
