What a weekend it has been! We went down to Southern California to cover the CD Release show of hard rockers, Diamond Lane. What an amazing night it was, all the bands were exceptional and it was a complete night of Rock n Roll. Make sure to check out our features on all the bands; Love and a .38, The Book of Curtis, Bad Romantics and Delta Rose.The event was held at the Troubadour and was put on by Lara Gladstone Presents and Diamond Lane were releasing their new CD, Terrorizer. They performed a KICK ASS, balls to the wall, straight up rock n roll show! It was intense.

Diamond Lane is

Brandon Baumann – Lead Vocals
Jarret Reis -Lead Guitar
Ray Zhang – Lead Bass
Frankie Lindia – Lead Guitar Dos
Dave Vandigitty – Lead Drums

This was the first time I had the opportunity to catch Diamond Lane, live and I have been looking forward to it for a while now and knew it was going to be a great show. They exceeded my expectations and delivered a high energetic, adrenaline fueled set. The stage presence of each member is truly a treat to see. Each one feeding off the energy of the crowd as they continued to fire up the room with their intense sound. Brandon on vocals was powerful and is the perfect frontman. He engages the audience and captivates them as he belts out Sebastian Bach-esque rock screams. They have such a great sound, it is the perfect mix of heavy metal and hard rock. They remind me of a young Skid Row/Slaughter combination but not in a dated sound, much more fresh and new. Exactly, the perfect blend to get your fix of music!

Also make sure to pick up their new CD, Terrorizer which is available everywhere now! We played it 4 times on our drive back from Los Angeles and by the time we got home we were singing along to The Enemy, Slow Destruction, Drift, Kiss The Ring and many more. We will be bringing you a complete album review later this week. So head over to iTunes and pick up yours today! Also, Diamond Lane will be playing at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Saturday, May 24th! We hope to see you all THERE!!! Visit their Facebook page for more details.
