Bio
Loud and erratic, Smile for Diamonds delivers a heated show every time. Hailing from Colorado and New Zealand; this 4 piece came together in the summer of 2009. All from different backgrounds with different influences they are determined to bring a complete performance. Smile for Diamonds' self titled and self released EP will be released digitally in February 2010 and physical copies will be ready some time in March/April. Recorded in downtown Seattle at Orbit Audio and mastered at Tone Proper studios, this EP offers 5 songs based around the effects of losing a loved one and moving on with out them. For fans of melodic, shoe-gaze indie rock that can often get heavy and quite technical. Committed to their music, this quartet brings a passion that is rare in today's music scene. In 2010 Smile for Diamonds will establish their presence here in the northwest and then take their show on the road. -
