"Getaround Girls"
"Forget About Your Boyfriend"Desario-Bio: The Desarios started during the boy’s sophomore year in high school playing at Talent Shows and local run down venues. Though they have had a constant rotation of drummers, the frontline of Cory Jasin on lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Alston Causey on lead guitar, and Charlie McKenzie on bass has stayed consistent throughout the band’s history. As they began to get older (not much older, the boys currently have an average age of 19) their music and playing ability became consistently better with each homemade EP they put out. They are very DIY oriented, making shirts out of their garage and printing their own cd’s at the McKenzie family print shop. Combining his love of 60’s pop and early 70’s punk, Jasin’s songwriting creates upbeat pop songs that are full of hooks and make you want to shake a leg out on the dance floor. It took awhile for the cities of Atlanta and Athens to catch on to this group of local boys that play music that is not really typical of other local bands, but eventually they began to draw crowds. With their latest effort, the self-released Shake You Up EP, the boys have really outdone themselves. From the opening lick of “Forget About Your Boyfriend,” the listener is drawn in. The hooks just keep coming with the next two tracks. “Get Around Girls” just makes you want to get up and dance and the round of “Just say no” from the last track, “Pass Her By,” will be stuck in your head for a long time. All three songs are instantly memorable and almost too catchy from their own good. Give in to your senses and dance and sing along to your heart’s content.
