Sleaze Roxx is pleased to premiere Serpico‘s video for their new single “Midnight Cowboy” from their upcoming album Chosen Four. Founded in 2005, Serpico currently consist of VeeDour on lead vocals, Snake on guitars, Andy on bass and Jani Serpico on drums.
“Finnish sleazy rockers Serpico are revealing the first single “Midnight Cowboy” off of their forthcoming 2021 album Chosen Four set to be released via Rockshots Records.
Since Serpico‘s inception in 2005, they have released two full-lengths Rose Tattoo (2018), Shallow Mistress (2014), and an EP Bad Commercial (2011) along with touring all over Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and England. The band is genuine and unique rock n’ roll with big respect for the classic titans.
Kippo is in strong demand for genuine and dangerous rock n ‘roll music and comments on producing the record: “I’m excited to work with Serpico on their forthcoming album, which will be recorded on magnetic tape. The analog recording perfectly fits their style as it enables us to capture both the energy and danger in exact detail. It’s awesome to see that rock ‘n’ roll is not dead!”
In terms of how the worldwide Covid pandemic has impact the release of Serpico‘s new album, Jani Serpico advised: “Yeah, sure it did… We’re having more time to concentrate on the album right now regarding the earlier schedule, which was a little bit tighter I think. But it did affect us in a negative way also because our rehearsing flat was under lockdown for about three months this past last summer, which sucked big time!”
In regard to how does the new album differ from the other records that Serpico have released in the past, Jani Serpico indicated: “First of all, we got offered a worldwide record deal with Rockshots Records and also we have this unbelievably talented producer who’s well known around the world in the rock/metal scene. His name is Anssi Kippo from Finland and I think he is best known for producing and recording Children of Bodom‘s three first breakthrough albums. And we are so excited about this whole recording session because it’s going to be recorded in the old school analogic way! It was one of the greatest things for us when Anssi got interested in our music and band. We have learned a lot from him and that’s why we feel blessed at the moment. He put us in a pretty hard school of “how the band should really play together”, and wow man… We are on fire… We found that groove and all the shit you really should have and feel when you play in the band! It’s going to be a great album and we can’t wait for it to be out for all the true rock n’ rollers! Rock n’ roll is not dead!”

band's singer VeeDour comments about "Midnight Cowboy"
"Midnight cowboy is about love, mixed with a twist of alchemy and mysticism. It's a story of loneliness, madness and desires to share with your muse. I came up with the initial inspiration for the song the other night when I sat down on my terrace, after a bad shift at work. I was left staring at the pale full moon in the sky, yeah ... there was some kinda magic in the air that night that I really can't explain. I felt so lonely and I had a lot of different desires going through my mind. I was thinking, is this the "all famous lunacy" I'm going through right now?! Haha... I guess it was."
"We would like to thank Mr Anssi Kippo for doing spectacular work with the production and bringing the coolest sound world into the song! Also we want to thank Antti Kyyrö from Miaco Cinema Oy for capturing those great and mystical vibes on the video, excellent job!"
Serpico are currently in the studio with producer Anssi Kippo (Children of Bodom, Hanna Pakarinen, Teräsbetoni).putting final touches to "Chosen Four" album. Anssi adds "The new Serpico single restored my faith in Finnish rock music. This is as genuine and honest as rock should be. They raise their middle finger towards everything fake like vocal tuning, editing, drum samples, sound replacers and re-amping. Serpico has the potential for world-wide success and Midnight Cowboy stands out very positively from the masses. This is a musical counter-strike against all things fake and brings back the pure danger of rock'n'roll!"
