Description
Our take: One of the most frustrating things about not getting the Featured Releases section of the newsletter done for the last few weeks is that Ive lacked sufficient opportunity to tell you how much this Diode record rules. I know little about Diode theres no description on Under the Guns website, though a little internet sleuthing leads me to believe theyre from Southern California. While Diodes internet presence may be hazy, their sound is fully articulated, slathering jittery, hardcore-informed punk with massive synth hooks, sort of like Jake Roberts, Ausmuteants synth wizard, overdubbing parts on a Warm Bodies record. While the synth melodies grab you by the lapels (see Van Zant), a catchy part might emerge from anywhere in the mix, whether its the guitars in Ugly or the anthemic vocals in Late Stage Solution. And with only eight tracks, its all wrapped up before you can even think about getting sick of it. An infectious record that begs for repeated listens.
