A change of pace from the rockers in this fifth single from recent album 'Sublime Destruction'
Fresh from a UK tour with Australian punk legends the Cosmic Pyschos, and two sold out shows in Finland, New Zealand/London punk ‘n’ rollers Desperate Measures have just dropped a fifth single from their acclaimed ‘Sublime Destruction’ album, released via Cadiz Music earlier this year. Grab your copy of the album HERE
Titled ‘Untouchable’, the song finds Desperate Measures easing their feet a little off the accelerator pedals for a track that loses none of its intensity, despite its slower pace.
“‘Untouchable‘ is a bit different for us. It was the last song we wrote for the album, and I guess it has shades of the Psychedelic Furs or Lords Of The New Church about it. Basically, it’s a ballsy, dark love song” says singer Eugene.
It’s a great song live, and the single captures all of its raw power and passion! Check out the cosmic ‘Untouchable’ video:
Desperate Measures are: Eugene Butcher (vocals), James Sherry (drums), Michael Gaffney (guitar/vocals) and Phil Roadkill (bass/vocals).
The band are busy working on new material for an EP release later this year and will be ripping up stages up and down the country for the rest of 2024. See their tour dates below!

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
Did you know that we are 100% DIY? We run our own game. No one dictates to us, and no one drives what we can or cannot put on our pages – and this is how we plan to continue!
