Philadelphia's Kiska Signs With Spartan Records; Self-Titled Debut Lp To Be Released This Fall

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Philadelphia 4-piece alternative rock outfit Kiska - formerly known as Desoto Jones (Deep Elm), have signed with Spartan Records and will drop their debut self-titled LP this fall. The LP was produced by Vince Ratti (Circa Survive, The Wonder Years, Superheaven, Balance & Composure).

Named after the small, obscure and unpopulated island off the coast of Alaska, Kiska consists of Philly natives Owen and Adam Staszewski (vocals /guitar, respectively), Ean Kyler (bass), and Adam Francois (drums).

"It evoked an image in our heads of an isolated place separated by water from an already cold and isolated place [Alaska]," says Adam Staszewski. "The mood and sound of the album is also a reflection of the name [Kiska] — heavy, majestic, desolate, and ominous," adds his brother Owen.
