John O'Regan's Diamond Rings project is now a major label prospect after he signed a deal with Astralwerks, but while we wait to hear the fruits of that match-up he's still out there promoting his indie label debut Special Affectations . "Something Else" is one of the standout cuts on that record, and here O'Regan performs a stripped-down acoustic version of the song for Rolling Stone in their offices. The singer explains his motivations for writing the song before performing it, and then manages to demonstrate what an impressive songwriter he is when his work is stripped off all [...]
Katie Stelmanis, Maya Postepski and Dorian Wolf are turning the world upside down with their project called Austra . And as if the enchanting melodies and Katie's magical voice weren't enough, Mr Diamond Rings remixed their track " Lose it ", as well. Who is he you might ask. "Although he learned piano, guitar, and saxophone at a young age, John O (as his friends call him) was more into playing dress-up with his cousin Lisa while dreaming of a life beyond the Toronto suburbs where he was born. Of course, being [...]

Frank Yang I'm not sure what purpose Barcelona's Parc del Forum, a fairly massive, considerably paved waterfront park on the edge of the city, is used for the rest of the year – it seems to built up and out of the way for just hanging out in – but for one weekend in May, at least, it's a pretty terrific spot to hold a music festival. Some more grassy spaces would be welcome and being long and narrow, it can be a haul from one stage to the next, but when you realize you're seeing a [...]
Dreamy electro-pop: both bands are worth checking out: Diamond Rings and Miracle Fortress . I love this track:
It's team Toronto verses team Toronto as Canadian SynthPop trio Austra are given the reMix treatment by the flamboyant Mr. Diamond Rings . The track is part two of a six-part weekly series of Diamond Rings reMixes called 'Rainbow reMix' in anticipation of the Astralwerks re-release of his 'Special Affections' album. DR takes the track and gives it a solid ElectroPop going over, with retro beats and chainsaw guitar synth, before bringing it down with a chilled piano outro. [...]
And we're back! I took a week off from the grind and have found that my baseball team (Colorado Rockies) have hit rock bottom and have had zero luck. The Mavericks and Heat (shocker) will play in the NBA Finals ; the refs have the Heat winning in 5 games, you know, because they can't make it TOO obvious and "POTC part 43 is the number one movie in the world. I ALMOST got sucked into going to watch it on vacation, however, I decided to catch some sun on the beach. I'm going to miss just [...]

It's been awhile since we've heard from Toronto's synth-pop darling Diamond Rings. So, I thought I'd take the opportunity to slow things down abit and post his new beautiful remix of Miracle Fortress's"Raw Spectacle". John O fashions an almost dizzying vibe by lending more synths along with his signature upbeat drum kit.
Miracle Fortress , banda de Montreal, Canadá, acaba de lançar seu segundo álbum, Was I The Wave? , dia 17 de maio. Depois do aclamado Five Roses (foi selecionado para o prêmio Polaris Music Prize, mas perdeu para Patrick Watson), a banda voltou com mais um álbum mais eletrônico que o anterior. A faixa Miscalculations mostra um pouco dessa mudança. Aproveitando o momento, Diamond Rings fez um belo remix para a Raw Spectacle que também do novo álbum dos canadenses. MP3: "Miscalculations" [...]
