Des

Des is an indie/electronic artist from Long Island who hit the scene in 2017 with his debut EP Eighty Six. He’s no rookie to the music scene, though. He got his start fronting indie rock band Gabriel the Marine. The group enjoyed considerable success playing shows alongside notable Long Island bands such as Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw. Gabriel the Marine recently re-released their 2012 album Songs For The Endtime online, and it’s packed with dynamic songs Des had a big hand in crafting.
