Latin Rockers deSoL’s upcoming release ” On My Way” is a spiritually charged musical journey that reverberates the confidence of a band that knows exactly where they are going and has just what it takes to get them there.

The new CD from Asbury Park’s deSoL which seamlessly blends material performed in both Spanish and English is set for an August 7th release.

(Asbury Park, NJ) – May 26, 2007 — deSoL, the Asbury Park, NJ-based band that mixes rock hooks with Latin rhythms is set to release On My Way, an album of all new material sung in English and Spanish is set to hit retail on August 7th through saZon Records/Two22 Music with distribution through ADA. The album’s first single “Sing It All Night” is scheduled to be serviced to Triple A radio next month.

Over the course of their six years together, deSoL has scored notable successes both on stage and on radio. Having toured extensively, deSoL has shared marquees with artists such as R.E.M., The Legendary Wailers, Los Lonely Boys, Blues Traveler, Particle and Widespread Panic, to name just a few. The band has become linked with the high profile festivals they’ve graced the stages of like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits, and more.

With Rock, Pop and Latin influences abounding, deSoL’s music has managed to cross cultural borders and musical formats bypassing all boundaries. Their first single, “Karma” released in 2005 became a Top 5 hit on the AAA radio format once again proving that in art and music there are No Borders.

The Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, and Mexican influences which makeup deSoL’s mixed Latino bloodlines also serves as the for their musical heroes such as the Fania All Stars, Tito Puente, Buena Vista Social Club as well as Los Lobos, and Santana, among others.

Just before going into the studio to record On My Way, deSoL spent a month in the Middle East when they were contracted by the Department of Defense’s Armed Forces Entertainment program. They brought their infectious rhythms and soulful tunes to the most widely varied assortment of ethnic, racial, and cultural mixtures imaginable which would be the men and women of the US troops stationed in Bahrain, Qatar, Djibouti, and Kuwait. Vocalist/guitarist Albie Monterrosa defines the experience as the final stopover on the long journey leading up to the here and now.

Upon arrival home, deSoL’s members sensed a change in themselves and somehow knew they were not the same people who had left for the road some 30 months earlier. Retreat, reflection, and rejuvenation was what the band needed most. Ironically enough they found their solace at Lake House Music right back in Asbury Park where the journey had all started. Coming full circle, it was there with the help and inspiration of Jon Leidersdorff, they wrote and produced the new album which was to serve as the repository for all they’ve learned as a band and individuals. Albie Monterrosa, commenting on the band and album, remarked, “We’ve been together for more than six years now and the musical and spiritual bonds between the band members just keeps growing stronger all that time. I think this is by far the ballsiest this band has ever sounded. I’m not kidding – this record Rocks!”
