New York, NY (Top40 Charts) DiMaggio Jones's debut EP "Lonely Boys Mixtape" already is receiving airplay around the world. Preceded by the singles "Spanish Air", "I Had No Idea" and "Vicious Black", the band's first body of work highlights their retro 80's aesthetic modernised with electronic and indie influences, paying homage to a much missed era of music defined by stadium sweeping choruses, soaring vocals, signature guitar solos, and foot tapping melodies you can't help but groove to.
Embodying the new age of the internet's role in modern music, the band members all met online and formed DiMaggio Jones through their love of their craft and musical influences. Spanning across Sheffield, Lincoln, Nottingham and Birmingham, Joseph F (Vocals), Joseph D (Producer/Guitarist), Edward (Bass), Hugh (Drums) and Ethan (Guitarist) have crafted a time-stamp of songs that personify the experiences of men in their early twenties; Songs "Spanish Air", "
T-Shirt" and "
Ghosts" explore the chase and subsequent heartbreaks from relationships that weren't meant to be, whilst "I Had No Idea" dives into the consequences of promiscuity. Personal moments come in the form of "
Voices" which lays bare the members personal struggles with mental health, providing a stark contrast with tracks such as "In California" (an ode to travelling in search of substance and meaning) and "Dirty Hugs" - a moody, chilled take on drug experimentation. The band's musical influences come through from
David Bowie, The 1975, The Police, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Soft Cell, Justice, Blondie, Queen, The Weeknd, LANY, Duran Duran, creating a rich tapestry of sounds whilst putting their own unique DiMaggio Jones stamp on it.
Few debut EPs (or groups) have been met with such a warm reception. After two years of teasing singles and touring music venues around the UK, DiMaggio Jones have been praised by BBC Lincolnshire Introducing with multiple singles chosen as their 'Song Of The Week', filled in for the band Blossoms with a live set on BBC
Radio 5 and become finalists in Jack Daniel's and DIY's Sound of Summer Live competition. The band has previously worked with industry heavyweights Billy Laurie, Nick Tauber and Darren Snape and have had their frontman compared to
David Bowie and
Freddie Mercury by BBC Lincolnshire Introducing. Once the coronavirus pandemic is over, the band have big plans to become the rising stars of the music scene with a nationwide tour and a string of festival appearances.
