Desoto Jones is a band of musicians from New Jersey who have always been passionate about music. Each member has their own eclectic tastes but they share a common love in the music that they create and play together.

Desoto Jones is guided by the three Staszewski brothers, and two long-time friends, Ean Kyler and Chris Gill. This band is their ultimate musical release because when it comes to creating music they are able to put the things they know they want to hear into songs without blatantly indulging themselves or disregarding any standards of quality. One might say that they essentially follow a rock n roll philosophy of no-bull and powerful delivery, but they are never at a loss for innovative sounds.

Desoto Jones utilizes those sounds without boring themselves or the listener. DJ recorded and self-released three EP's on their own, "Self-Titled", "The Troubleshooting is Over" and "Stay Awake Stay Alive". In the winter of 2007, Desoto Jones has finally found the sound they've been looking for with a full length album called "Aurora", which has been released in a limited pressing on Deep Elm Records. The album has gotten some great reviews including 4 out of 5 stars by Alternative Press Magazine (March 2008).

Desoto Jones continues moving forward with great momentum: writing new material, enjoying a high level of inspiration and creativity between each other, and playing shows to deliver their own gripping and emotional blend of rock music to people's ears. Desoto Jones' new single, "She Hit The Wall", is receiving significant airplay on Philly's Radio 104.5FM and the band was voted Best Local Band of 2008 by 104.5 listeners.
