Led by Jon Egan, the Desperation Band was birthed out of the student 
ministries of New Life Church in Colorado Springs. They are recording artist with a great family of worshippers from Integrity Music. They continue to make New Life Church and the Desperation Conferences the core of who they are.

The Desperation Band has recorded multiple albums with Integrity music, including “Who You Are”, the critically acclaimed “Everyone Overcome”, and the band’s first studio worship album “Light Up The World”, which was Jon Egan’s first shot at producing! In addition to Desperation Band albums, they have also been featured on three New Life Church recordings… 2006′s “My Savior Lives”, 2008’s “Counting on God”, and the most recent church album “You Hold It All.”

In the fall of 2011 came an independent release from Dband called UPDATE:LIVE. This album, raw and barely edited, is a worship experience taken from the Desperation Conferences. On the back of 16 of Dband’s favorite songs from the past few years, this is the sound of the desperation movement, 10 years strong. On April 10th, 2012 dBand released a studio album, "Center Of It All, produced by Paul Mabury (Hillsong, All Sons and Daughters). This is the bands first experience with an outside producer. 11 brand new songs, most of which were collaborations with writers Jason Ingram, Paul Mabury, Mia Fieldes, and others.
