[Damn] This Desert Air create big, booming, melodic rock wide in its breadth, sound and scope. Injected with heavy space riffs [think Oceansize, Cave In, Failure] with a foundation of post-hardcore [think Far, Quicksand], [Damn] This Desert Air are finding an audience who not only desire a thick, full blast of sound, but also attention to dynamic detail in their music. Creating memorable songs that also have a few left turns are what make [D]TDA stand firmly on their feet.
Though the members of [D]TDA have resigned from notable bands such as Instruction [Geffen]; Elemae [Engineer]; Nora [Trustkill]; Merciana [Engineer]; Ex Number Five [OneDaySavior] and The Fire Still Burns [Blackout!], it is the current sound they've created together that have set them apart from their pasts, and shed new light for a vigorous future. They've been purposely self-managing themselves since the bands inception, giving them a realistic approach at building the band on their terms, at a manageable pace in today's fickle musical climate. Since self-releasing their own debut EP 1 to well-received audiences, they've took part in a tribute compilation to 90's space rock veterans FAILURE on Pop Up Records, joined in a limited edition split 7" single with ex-Codeseven/Classic Case veterans Telescreen on Texas' boutique label Koi Records and have also been on numerous compilations such as taste-making blog site ExplodingInSound.com's debut download comp.
Now signed by Bastardized Recordings [Germany] and distributed by Pop Up Records in the USA , [Damn] This Desert Air plan to bring their new Distance Waits EP to an audience even greater than before. The forthcoming EP will feature 5 new songs and a very special remix track commanding your attention. With mixing credits including Brian Virtue [Jane's Addiction, 30 Secs to Mars, Deftones], mastering by West West Side's Alan Douches and attention to detail every step of the way, be ready for some high-impact audio which sews together both heavy rock and intimate ambience with similar intensities, neither one sacrificing itself for the other.
Band Members: Ti Kreck - Drums | Craig Cirinelli - Vocals | Shawn Reams - Guitar | Alf Bartone - Bass | Mike Wolff - Guitar
