The Diamond Mines

"...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."
- Northeast Performer
"...a bit of gritty roadhouse rock, a twinge of skronky jazz, a psych-y glow..."
- Weekly Dig
"It is really great to see a band play punk that incorporates soul again, and with such energy and sincerity."
- The Noise
"...The Diamond Mines dont sound like any other Boston band out there right now, and they dont fit into any predictable niche."
- 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..."
- Northeast Perfomer
"...a punk band with a saxophonist, for that soul edge- an unlikely but good combination, kind of like Hawaiian pizza."
- The Weekly Dig
"If you were to define rock n roll, with special emphasis on the ’roll’ part, not just the ’rock’, this... would be the definition."
- The Noise
