I've been meaning to write about this amazing band for some time, but it seems I've let procrastination win yet again. Well no more! I'm doing it! Diagonals , Austin, TX based multi-genre rockers, are about to release their debut LP entitled, Valley of the Cyclops . The album is full of lyrically dark songs that one can't help dancing to. It's odd actually, I'll find myself tapping my foot or shaking my leg to what appears to be an obvious upbeat song, but then I'll catch a lyric like, [...]
I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one. I hate to say that I won't be able to give [...]
The first word that comes to mind when I try to describe Diagonals is, radical. The Austin five-piece perfectly blends many different things. Garage-surf-gaze guitars, an uber-infectious organ sound, danceable rock beats, touches of psychedelic reverb, all added on top of "twisted deadpan lyrics that conjure an odd mixture of optimism and doom." Their debut LP, Valley of the Cyclops, will be available February 28th on iTunes and at monofonuspress.com . They also have a 5-track EP you can download right the second. Try on two of the new jams below, and hear more [...]
Diagon Hljómsveitin Diagon er þriggja manna Reykjavíkurband sem legið hefur í hálfgerðum dvala undanfarið. Nú eru þeir félagar komnir á kreik aftur með breytta liðsskipan (bassaleikarinn tók að sér hlutverk söngvarans) og frumburðinn fullbúinn og klárann til útgáfu. Engum sögum fer þó af nákvæmum útgáfudegi plötunnar. Diagon stefna á tónleikahald á næstunni og geta áhugasamir fylgst með tilkynningum þess efnis á heimasíðu sveitarinnar eða MæSpeisinu þeirra. Nýja efnið lofar góðu. Metnaðarfullt alt-rokk sem sleppur að mestu við falla í klisjugryfjurnar sem leynast víðsvegar. Söngvarinn minnir mig einstaklega mikið [...]

Mad Mackerel Recommends...The Diagonals
The Diagonals hail from (where else) Austin, Texas. We missed them playing at SxSW, primarily because we knew nothing about them before last week, and that is now beginning to feel like a pretty big oversight to us.They have been around since 2006, and released a self-titled EP before this year's debut album, Valley Of The Cyclops appeared. Both are available on emusic.The album's overtone is

John Michael Cassetta - Entry #29
Sunday, February 1, 2009 When I told my roommate I was leaving for Chicago this weekend, he left me with these words of wisdom: "Dude, go meet Kanye." Figuring I could spot the man's ego from the descent into O'Hare, I didn't expect the search to take me very long, but unfortunately the catalogue of pictures of me partying with Kanye have yet to be taken. Hopefully, my last 24 hours in the old Windy City will change that. For now though, we'll all just have to settle [...]

Video: Diagonals- "Neil Diamond Blues"
Diagonals is a neo-new wave outfit from Texas, and they've got a serious case of dance floor depression. With an almost robotic vocal delivery and a gritty tale of emotionless lovemaking, the band's definitely working with a tried and true formula. With a little more whining and eye makeup, we'd be calling it "goth," but the band is far too pragmatic to deal in such behavior. It's some earnest songwriting, a straightforward delivery, and some thick-rimmed glasses. This video features a track from the group's debut album, Valley of the Cylcops . It'll [...]
