Interview With Spread Eagle’s Bassist, Rob De Luca

Spread Eagle’s, Rob De Luca: The Sound, The Songs & The Future

Spread Eagle have been bringing their distinctive brand of gritty New York hard rock to the masses for more than three decades. Formed in NYC in the late ’80s, the band made an immediate impact with their raw, streetwise sound, and bassist Rob De Luca has been an integral part of that journey from the very beginning.

Now, Spread Eagle are back with their fourth studio album, The Brutal Divine, released June 12, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. The record delivers the grit, attitude and fire that have always been at the heart of the band, while pushing their sound into darker and heavier territory.

De Luca’s role on the album goes well beyond the bass. In addition to laying down the thunderous low end and contributing vocals, he also took on production duties, giving him a unique perspective on the creation of the record from the inside out.

In this interview, we sit down with Rob to talk about The Brutal Divine, the making of the album, the secrets behind his unmistakable bass tone, his approach to production, and what lies ahead for Spread Eagle as they continue to take their music to stages around the world.

So turn it up and join us for a conversation with one of New York hard rock’s longtime survivors and sonic architects.
