Reviews		Bio
"...twitchy pop songs that would be right at home in the first generation of new wave...thinking man's punk...everything modern alternative rock should be, but so rarely is." -Matt Stepanski, Northeast Performer "...a bit of gritty roadhouse rock, a twinge of skronky jazz, a psych-y glow..." -Michael Brodeur, Weekly Dig "...a punk band with a saxophonist, for that soul edge— an unlikely but good combination, kind of like Hawaiian pizza." -The Weekly Dig "...The Diamond Mines don’t sound like any other Boston band out there right now, and they don’t fit into any predictable niche." -Jonathan Perry, Stuff @ Night "...they couldn't be a more complete rock outfit... skilled musicianship and keen understanding of crafting hooks... the melding of different styles isn't forced..." -Alan Verly, Northeast Perfomer "It is really great to see a band play punk that incorporates soul again, and with such energy and sincerity." -Chris Bock, The Noise "If you were to define rock ’n’ roll, with special emphasis on the 'roll' part, not just the 'rock,' this... would be the definition." -Robin Umbley, The Noise		Somewhat notable bands we shared the stage with: Presidents of the USA, The Willowz (Dim Mak/Sympathy for the Record Industry), The Slackers (Epitaph), Township, Eli Paperboy Reed & the Trueloves, Earl Greyhound, Eileen Rose (Rough Trade), Tunnel of Love, Stephen Brodsky (Hydrahead), Wild Light Somewhat noteable bands we share(d) members with: Murphy’s Law, The Slackers, Eli Paperboy Reed & the Trueloves, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Ho-Ag, Skavoovie & the Epitones, Disaster Strikes (Alternative Tentacles), Eileen Rose & the Holy Wreck Of course, all of this proves nothing. If it sounds like the real thing then its the real thing
