(Damn) This Desert Air creates big, booming, melodic rock, wide in
it's breadth, sound and scope. Injecting heavy space riffs into a
foundation of angular, modern-rock song structures—(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 with a few left turns are what make (D)TDA’s debut EP
1 stand firmly on it’s feet.
“Perhaps this is what 90’s alternative rock would have sounded like
had it not been tailor-made for radio play—all the elements are there
in the music of (D)TDA for mainstream acceptance, but the music is a
bit more adventurous, technical and harder than the standard fare.” -
Verbicide Magazine, issue 22
Though members have resigned from notable bands such as Instruction
(Geffen); Nora (Trustkill); Elemae (Engineer); Merciana (Engineer); Ex
Number Five (OneDaySavior) and Calm.Murder (Engineer), 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.
Receiving broadcasts in a handful of taste-making music news sites
(thePRP.com, PunkNews.org, Mammoth Press, Rock Sound, Rock Midgets,
Punkbands.com, StonerRock.com), (Damn) This Desert Air received a
second, honorable feature in the UK’s Rock Sound magazine as one of
the “101 Bands That Will Own 2008” (Issue 104). Additionally, Wonka
Vision Magazine conducted an interview in Issue 41, as well as
Alternative Press Magazine features a Q&A in Issue 241.
In further release news, Koi Records of Houston, TX picked up (Damn)
This Desert Air to do a limited edition split vinyl “single” alongside
North Carolina’s Telescreen (ex-Classic Case, Codeseven). With a May
2008 release date in the works, this split will also be partnered by
England’s Different Kitchen Records to be released simultaneously in
Europe.
Additionally, (Damn) This Desert Air was one of the final bands added
to a tribute compilation for the 90’s space rock band Failure, out on
Pop Up Records later in 2008. Entitled “The Nurse Who Loved Me, A
Tribute to Failure,” the song “Sergeant Politeness” from Failure’s
seminal Fantastic Planet album was selected and will be included
amongst a strong roster or artists. You can go to the tribute site for
additional information.
