Welcome to the official DCP website, Rock music for a new era. In the year 1990, in California, David Clerest continued writing his anti-war and environmental protest songs that he had begun writing in the 1980s. After much struggle to keep a three piece band together in the 80's, he decided to combine his talents as a drummer, guitarist and song writer to create a unique one man show called DCP. As a one man band, David brings a whole new perspective to songs by bands like Judas Priest, Metallica and Iron Maiden. David Clerest performed extensively from 1990 to year 2003. He released the album Mission:Earth in 1999. That album was re-mastered and re-released in 2001. DCP released a new Album in 2011 and did a tour of Europe to promote it. |
