Grafting the smarts and strong point of view of indie rock with the tough, retro influences of garage punk, Des Demonas are a band from Washington, D.C. that includes several talented veterans of the local underground music scene. After making a name for themselves on the D.C. club circuit, with Jacky Cougar Abok's declamatory vocals facing off against the churning groove of the music, they landed a record deal with respected indie/punk label In the Red Records, which released their self-titled debut in December 2017. ~ Mark Deming
