I now consider Destry 's existence living evidence of something I've suspected for a while-a direct line between yesterday's scream-in-your-face emo generation and today's indie-folk. Destry is a project formed from members of Straylight Run and Taking Back Sunday . These are, respectively, the saddest and loudest emo bands I can remember. And yes, they are now in a folk band. As someone who was in high school when both those bands peaked, I feel like I've been subconsciously along for the ride this whole time. Looking back, Elliott Smith [...]
For today's feature I have to give credit to the amazing iPad app BandADay, readers with an iPad should really give it a try! Last week I stumbled upon the folkpop duo Destry. Destry consists of Michelle DaRosa and Tyler Odom, who have known each other for the better part of ten years but it's only been in the last two years that they have gone from friends to band mates. Both of them experienced success in previous musical acts, Straylight Run and Northstar/Cassino respectively, but their time together in Destry has brought them in a different direction. Old fans [...]
Let's have a quick chat about what's currently making my happy. 1. Knowing I get to see The Civil Wars tonight. 2. My fancy new bell-bottom jeans (12.99 thrift store find FTW). 3. Having my boss pay for lunch. 4. Waiting On An Island by Destry. Notes on #4: This sway worthy album is light-hearted [...]

We are excited to be attending this year and wanted to share with your some of our picks for the 2011 festival: ANR Active Childe Ambassadors Art Vs.

Tras unos días de vacaciones, volvemos a la carga, y lo hacemos hablando nuevamente de uno de los grupos más interesantes que he tenido la ocasión de conocer durante estos últimos años, Destry, grupo formado por Michelle DaRosa y Tyler Odom. Ella había formado parte previamente de la banda Straylight Run mientras que él fue integrante de Northstar y Cassino. El proyecto conjunto se crea en el año 2009, publicando ese mismo año su álbum de debut "It Goes On", un disco melódico que rápidamente consiguió hacerse un hueco entre mis favoritos. Recientemente ha [...]
Stream New Destry Album You can now stream " Waiting on an Island ", the brand new album by Destry on AOL .
When Michelle DaRosa, former vocalist for Straylight Run, set out on her own in 2008, she was destined to create something great. DaRosa teamed up with four other artists who are also currently in other bands, to create Destry . The mingling of the different influences created their sophomore album, Waiting on an Island . Each song seems to have a different influence. "This Island," and "Don't Break My Heart," channel Patsy Kline while "Never Let Go" and "Smile" are reminiscent of The Beatles. Whichever song you listen to, the entire album has that [...]

I often get caught up in the indie scene, forgetting why I started listening to 'category = indie' music in the first place. While many of our writers grew up with Pavement , The Flaming Lips , Brian Eno , Talking Heads , etc., I was a no-eyeliner emo kid that spend my afternoons before football practice listening to Brand New , Taking Back Sunday , and Straylight Run . Of the three aforementioned bands, Straylight Run has stuck with me the most, still earning a rotating spot on my weekly [...]
Destry recording new full length It's going to be so good yall
Coup de coeur pour Destry, le nouveau projet de Michelle DaRosa, ex du groupe emo-rock Straylight Run. It Goes On, leur premier album, a été conçu sur le principe de la collaboration à distance : DaRosa composait les démos acoustiques de ses chansons chez elle et envoyait le résultat aux autres membres du groupe qui se chargeaient des arrangements.

Destry is the new band from former Straylight Run singer Michelle DeRosa. They've just released their debut album It Goes On. The album is a bit of a mishmash of music styles, which spends a great amount of its time in the pop rock territory. The album opens with the jangle pop tune "Don't Forget Me" before transitioning into "So Far Away", a ditty that leans heavily on a wild west saloon feel
Words: Gareth O'Malley Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody once said that the key elements of his band's music were 'melody and honesty', and when you take that into account, you can quite easily draw parallels between the multi-million selling UK group and the American indie-folk five-piece Destry . Comprised of former Straylight Run members Michella DaRosa and Shaun Cooper, as well as Tyler Odom, Nicole Childrey, and Sam Means (formerly of The Format ) create [...]
