[1] Desario formed in early 2004 when John Conley, Michael Yoas and Jim Rivas, who had played together previously in various other bands including Holiday Flyer, got together and started writing songs.
The intention was to veer away from the poppier songs that they produced in their earlier bands and find a more indie rock-based center.
Desario's second full-length album, Mixer, was released on February 28, 2012 on upstart label Test Pattern Records.
As a standard four-piece band, their songs are highlighted by driving drums, melodic bass lines and both rhythm and picked guitar parts.
[3] As if to acknowledge the band's sound's similarity to Scottish indie rock acts, SoundsXP wrote: "Desario call Sacramento, California home, but if you were told they hailed from the somewhat less exotic city of Glasgow you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid.”[2] Albums EPs Compilations
