DEEP ELM RECORDS is pleased to announce that it has signed South Jersey five piece DESOTO JONES.

Instant gratification. That’s the best way to describe these monsters of rock. Going big on their masterful debut AURORA with irresistible hooks, incredible lyrics and towering riffs, every song hits hard and lingers long. Combining post-hardcore elements with tender lyrics and soaring choruses, this arena-ready wall of sound leaves no stone unturned…nothing left to be desired.

For a Limited Time, get a FREE DOWNLOAD here: http://www.deepelm.com/470/

AURORA was recorded and produced by Chris Badami (Dillinger Escape Plan, The Early November, Midtown, The Starting Line) at Portrait Recording Studio in Lincoln Park, N.J. Limited to 1000 physical copies, Aurora is scheduled for a worldwide release by Deep Elm in December of 2007. The record will also be available on an unlimited basis from digital services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, Emusic, Snocap, etc.

“This is one of the best albums we’ve ever released…and we’ve put out 120 records over the last decade” says Deep Elm Records owner John Szuch. “If this was the last record we ever put out, I would die happy and consider Deep Elm’s mission accomplished. Desoto Jones deserves everything coming to them. They are that good. Just listen.”

Named after the distance from the band’s hometown of Cincinnati to Graceland, 500 Miles To Memphis plays a rowdy, insanely catchy, sometime heartbreaking but always inspiring brand of “country punk.” It’s the type of honest music that can prompt a sentimental, liquor-tinged therapy session between old friends or incite a raucous, fist-pumping sing-along amongst perfect strangers at your neighborhood pub.

“Half country twang, half raucous punk, wholly innovative.” - Absolutepunk.net
“Drink, dance, laugh and cry the night away to this little gem. Great stuff.” - Subba-Cultcha
“An entertaining blood-and-broken bottle country punk combo…a rousing listen!” - Americana UK
“500 Miles To Memphis have won my heart with their country-punk amalgam.” - Independent Clauses
