Washington, DC’s DES DEMONAS have been hailed as a
favourite of Henry Rollins (KCRW FM/Black Flag), Marc Riley (BBC6 Music/The Fall), and Iggy Pop (BBC6 Music/The Stooges) since the release of their debut LP on In The Red Records and their subsequent singles and EP.
DES DEMONAS’ much anticipated follow-up LP “APOCALYPTIC BOOM! BOOM!” is out November 29 on In The Red Records.
The group is made up of some familiar names from the DC punk, garage, and indie scenes. A Kenyan punk-poet-politique Jacky “Cougar” Abok (Foul Swoops, Thee Lolitas) is on vocals & percussion, Mark Cisneros (Hammered Hulls, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds, The Make-Up) is on guitar, Paul Vivari (Benjy Ferree, DJ Soul Call Paul) is on Farfisa organ and bass machine, and Matt Gatwood (Two Inch Astronaut) is on drums.
Des Demonas’ music is a melding of disparate sounds and influences, hitting with a driving pulse and fiery intent.
“The sonic fuel of the band is a blend of post punk, punk, funk, blues, psych rock, Afro beat, even bubble gum but the noise you hear is pure Des Demonas.” - Kim Salmon/The Scientists
“Dig the Des Demonas. Play it loud. Twist your wig.” - Kid Congo Powers
