FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Serpico Unleash New Single “Sweet Rebel Darling” – A Hymn to Freedom, Love, and Defiance
Finnish Hard Rock Icons Continue Their High-Voltage Assault
Helsinki, Finland – August 18, 2025 – Metal Devastation PR is thrilled to announce that Finnish hard rock powerhouse Serpico has released their latest single, “Sweet Rebel Darling” , now streaming worldwide via Golden Robot Records.
Written and composed by Kalle Virtanen, with arrangements by Serpico and Anssi Kippo, and produced at Astia Studio by Anssi Kippo, “Sweet Rebel Darling” is more than a song—it’s a celebration of freedom, free will, and raw, untamed rock energy. The track was inspired by a touching documentary about the Council of the Hipe, a peaceful group constantly under governmental pressure. Frontman Vee Dour explains:
"Seeing a group that loved peace be treated as a threat—it was surreal. Their ingenuity and commitment to secrecy won my sympathy, and this song became a hymn to freedom, love, and rebellion. It’s a primitive cry into the unknown, with a hint of anarchy, influenced by the spirit of road movies."
Guitarist Jani Serpico adds:
"When we recorded this, I immediately dug it. Anssi Kippo nailed a drum sound that makes the stereo rock like crazy. The song grows as it rolls forward—every instrument adds its own voice, every rhythm detail matters. It’s hard rock with its own heartbeat, and it feels completely ‘Ride Free’—just like life should be."
Golden Robot Records’ Kay Macauley notes:
"Working with Serpico is a privilege. ‘Sweet Rebel Darling’ embodies originality, passion, and a sound that demands attention. Fans are going to love what’s coming on the new album."
Serpico’s rise continues after recent press highlights, including their previous single “Rock N’ Roll Is Not Dead” being featured in Metal Hammer’s Top Metal Videos of the Week .
With a track record of delivering authentic, high-voltage rock reminiscent of Guns N’ Roses, Hanoi Rocks, Michael Monroe, and Motörhead, Serpico continues to push the boundaries of Finnish hard rock—raw, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore.
