We formed sometime in 1992 as Jeff Carroll & the Desmonds. Chocolate Box was our eleven song album released in 1994 under the Accidental label. There were some singles on a compilation or two. Now we are back, simply as The Desmonds. Exciting, huh?
"The music bug, as it's wont to do, bit singer /guitarist Carroll, drummer Joseph Fiore, bassist Bert Rogers and guitarist Steve Storms again, leading them back into the garage to resurrect The Desmonds' unwavering guitar pop. With a charged melodicism that would be home with fans of Cheap Trick, Badfinger and Elvis Costello, The Desmonds aren't treading any new ground, but the ground they do tread is tried and true, indeed. No sense reinventing the wheel when all you needed was some air in the tires, right? Nice to see you again, fellas." --Bryan Reed, Independent Weekly
