About Us

Decades Late delivers theme-driven songs and sounds shaped by the melodic DNA of ’90s alt-rock, with a guitar-driven ethos that blends analog grit with modern relevance—powered by a seasoned lineup rooted in Brooklyn, NYC.

Their debut LP, Double Appropriation (2024), features songs written in the 1990s, including the alt-rock standout “Straight Through the Heart,” the grunge-driven “There It Goes,” and the Britpop-inflected “Where Is the Sun?”. Their EP Urban Grass (Feb 2025) is an acoustic-forward collection inspired by the golden age of vinyl recordings from the mid-1960s through the 1970s.

The follow-up EP, Second Take (Apr 2025), marked a bold evolution in their sound, with muscular rock grooves and lyrics tied to pressing global issues—climate instability, rising autocracy, and the erosion of civil liberties.

Their newest release, The Last Song (Sept 2025), showcases the band’s range—from the gritty urgency of “Crush Me” and Britpop-driven energy of “The Waiting Game,” to the modern indie punch of “Take Me Home Tonight” and the soulful, bittersweet slow-burn of the title track. Together, the EP blends atmosphere, hooks, and emotional depth into a powerful statement of where Decades Late stands today.

For these releases, Decades Late returns with its core lineup: frontman Andre Delaroche (vocals, rhythm guitar), David Butler (drums – Guster, Lee “Scratch” Perry), and Brett Bass (bass – Gregg Allman, Chris Barron), joined by veteran touring and session guitarist Jon LaDeau (National Reserve), whose lead guitar work shines on “Stellar Hopes.” Together, the band delivers a cohesive, dynamic sound shaped in close collaboration with producer-engineer Reed Black of Vinegar Hill Sound in Brooklyn.

With each release, Decades Late continues to refine a distinct voice—music driven by message, melody, and a deep respect for the great musicians of the past who influence their sound today.
