      <dc:subject>deSol, Los Lonely Boys, Latin, Hitmaker</dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They hail from the coastal New Jersey stomping ground that spawned Bruce Springsteen &amp; the E Street Band and Blues Traveler, two acts that experimented with Latin sounds on tracks like &#8220;Rosalita&#8221; and &#8220;Runaround.&#8221; Now, with the release of their new Adrenaline Records album <em>On My Way</em>, Garden State rockers <a id='f3517' class='f3517' href='/affiliate/C3517'>deSol</a> complete the circle begun by their forebears.  Described as &#8220;rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll with a Latin soul,&#8221; deSol seems destined to alter the perception &#8212; and the complexion &#8212; of Jersey rock.</p>

<p><em>As On My Way</em> makes resolutely clear, Latin rock is no mere experiment for deSol.  Featuring the talents of singer/songwriter Albie Monterrosa, Jams Guerrero (percussion, vocals), Andy Letke (keyboards), Chris Guice (bass), Kevin Ansell (guitars), Ron Shields (drums) and Ray Turull (percussion), <em>On My Way</em> seduces with its life-affirming tunes sung in English, Spanish and hybridized "Spanglish." From the chanted choruses and Morse-code guitar riffs that animate the title track, to rousing numbers like &#8220;San Juan&#8221; and &#8220;Mona Lisa,&#8221; and ballads such as &#8220;Good Night Love&#8221; and &#8220;House of Texas,&#8221; <em>On My Way</em> triumphantly advances deSol&#8217;s south-of-the-border rock agenda while contemporizing the positive vibes of 1970s Top 40 radio.</p>

<p>Emerging in 2003 with their self-titled debut album, deSol captivated radio listeners from the start. Their premiere single, "Karma," was a Top 5 Triple A radio hit. A holiday single, "Little Drummer Boy,&#8221; set a record as the highest debut chart entrance since James Taylor in 2004. Taking to the road, deSol opened for R.E.M., the Legendary Wailers and <a id='f490' class='f490' href='/affiliate/C490'>Los Lonely Boys</a>, while performing a "buzzworthy" <em>LA Times</em> showcase at the 2005 South by Southwest festival.</p>

<p>Throughout their travels, the band won rave media notices. <em>The Philadelphia Inquirer</em> stated, &#8220;not since Los Lobos&#8230; has a Latin band sounded as fiery &#8212; and so ready to mess with tradition &#8212; as deSol.&#8221;</p>

<p>As evidenced by their recent single &#8220;Sing It All Night,&#8221; the Jersey band is biding their time until fortune inevitably comes knocking. As Monterrosa sings: &#8220;One day, gonna write the song that&#8217;s gonna keep &#8216;em cheering &#8216;til they turn out the lights/until then we&#8217;re troubadours chasing down a feeling, sending music into the night...&#8221;</p>
