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 (recorded in 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 band’s newest EP, Second Take, (releasing 4/20/25) marks a clear evolution in their sound. Each track delivers strong rock grooves underscored by lyrical relevance to pressing global issues—climate instability, rising autocracy, and the erosion of civil liberties.

For this latest release, 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 is showcased 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 shape a distinct voice—music driven by message, melody, and a deep respect for the great musicians of the past who influence their sound today.
