Denver, Colorado's Weed Diamond have been making their way on to my computer for many months now. One of the most unique, and unexpectedly awesome ways was from Get Off the Coast's DENVER's Show and Tell: TV Themes post where Weed Diamond covered the theme to Pepper Ann (there are two other covers on that post by other Denver bands, and believe me all worth checking out). While I've been enjoying their tunes for some time nothing had hit me as hard as their new tracks [...]
In Los Angeles. Very tired. STOP. Watch video. For Weed Diamond. STOP. More esoteric ramblings soon. STOP. Weed Diamond - Snowmelt from Jheri Evans on Vimeo. Source:Weekly Tape Deck
Can technicolour be a verb? It can now. Brooklynites Sensual Harrasment have turned a high power hosepipe on electro-shoegaze and SOAKED it in echo. Just like the 60s 'are' technicolour because that's the only way this era can see that era, so leisurely-reverb recalls-harmonies recalls-Beach-Boys. The harmonies, like the real colour of the world, have always been there. That doesn't mean this doesn't sound like a whole-lotta-fun; Sensual Harrasement just scream Technicolour Epic!! Which can only be a good thing. This is the The Big Pink for Summer. I would post a track, but the best [...]
One of our blog bros (who recently crashed our hotel room this last weekend at SXSW) Jheri over at GOTC has just made a video collage to the tune of Weed Diamond 's "Snowmelt". Seems like they enjoyed it enough to call it their official video for the tune. Weed Diamond - Snowmelt

El festival musical South By Southwest, o SXSW , se realiza todos los años en Austin, TX. En más de 80 escenarios convergen casi 2000 bandas ante un público conformado básicamente por scouts de disqueras, periodistas, bookers, representantes, promotores de conciertos, bloggers y ebrios degenerados . Para acreditarse hay que pagar buena plata (la última vez que indagué costaba como 600 dólares) con la promesa de ver eso... casi 2000 bandas en 5 días. SXSW. De lo que nos salvamos. Pero [...]

Weed Diamond kredenzen den Song zum Winterende. "Snowmelt" ist ein dunstiger Lo-Fi-Track, der mit dem dazugehörenden Vintage-Video noch an Aufdringlichkeit gewinnt. Das Blog-Label Transparent bringt uns eine weitere grandiose und auf 300 Stück limitierte 7inch auf Vinyl. Weed Diamond mit "Snowmelt" und "Oklahoma" (Link) sind zwei wunderschöne Lo-Fi-Tracks in zeitgenössischer Machart. Nach Active Child, Washed [...]

Commençons donc avec Weed Diamond et ces quelques titres que vous trouverez, pour le premier chez Transparent , et le second chez Half Machine ... En bonus, cette vidéo de « Snowmelt » composée avec les images d'un documentaire Hippies in het Vondelpark, 1973 par Jheri de Get Off The Coast ! [MP3] Weed [...]
We're absolutely loving this jaunty, sunny slice of psych-pop from Weed Diamond . It is the b-side to new single Snowmelt and has one of the most perfect opening 60 seconds to a song that we've heard in a long, long time. Banish the winter blues and let spring blow in with this absolute cracker. Released on March 29, and limited to 300 copies, you can order one from Transparent here . Visit Weed [...]
Our radio slot continues today at 4 PM CST on Indie-Verse Radio and includes new tracks from Cloud Nothings, Ouija, W-H-I-T-E, Bake Sale and Memoryhouse.

Just in time for Spring, Weed Diamond' s latest, "Snowmelt", is set as the a-side for 73 single release. Since it's over the top good, it would only make sense for our friends at Transparent to press this gem. With "Oklahoma" on the flip, these two sunny pop tunes are perfect for keeping those icicles off yr eaves. On top of all this, we'll get to hang with both WD and the Transparent dudes i n Austin in the coming weeks. Limited to 300 copies, order now . Weed Diamond - [...]
Weed Diamond is the one-man noise pop project of Denver-native Tim Perry. That last sentence comes dangerously close to one I wrote once about Wavves' Nathan Williams, an ornery little guy whose moves Perry seems to have studied very closely. Or maybe that's just some weird coincidence and my ears are blown out from having listened to too much Wavves. Either way, it doesn't really matter because whether you smoke your hooks out or bury them in hiss, pop is for sharing and the two Weed Diamond jams below are promising. Deliciously so. [...]
The good news just keeps on coming and not necessarily in the right order as we finally turn the spotlight to our next release, the amazing debut vinyl single from Denver's Weed Diamond . Proudly presented on its A-side, 'Snowmelt' is full of all the flailing, echo-drenched energy and perfect crackled melodies we've come to expect from Tim Perry and his washed-out troupe. Playing the part of subtle sister and jangling away on the flipside is the equally brilliant but more laid-back and sun-lounged ambling of stoner-pop jam 'Oklahoma'. The 7" vinyl is limited to [...]
We're pleased to announce that the oft-talked about Ancient Crux / Weed Diamond split 7" is now almost ready (ready enough to announce anyway!). Released on Monday 5th April on Half Machine Records, there's only 200 copies available from us and various shops and each band will have a stash to sell on tour and what not so get in early! Download both tracks below. DOWNLOAD: Ancient Crux - 'In Teen Dreams' [SENDSPACE LINK] DOWNLOAD: Weed Diamond - 'Nothing To Write Home About' [SENDSPACE LINK] [...]

The last couple weeks have been a little nutty to say the least. Since FMLY FEST in December, it's been a whirlwind of live music, new friends, good times and expanding horizons. With the first FMLY tour now in the rear view, we would like to invite all of our FMLY to join us tomorrow night for the culmination of two amazing tours. Of course the FMLY DNR TR crew will be present (with the exception of Philip Seymour Hoffman who has migrated back east again). We will be clashing will our pals Weed Diamond , Tan Dollar [...]
Royal Rhino Flying Records, a great label and media/culture blog based in West Virginia, and home to...
Gotta say I've found it kind of hard to remember/figure out which "songs" are my absolute favs this year because a) THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY GOOD BANDS COMING OUT WITH ONLY JUST A HANDFUL OF EUPHORIC AND INVENTIVE SOUNDS and b) most of them are submerged inside 15 minute long tapes or LPs and thus harder to post on a blog. But whatever, I've had to go with those anyway to "stay true to myself". I think I've lost track of heaps of stuff this year from working craploads and putting on shows in a small English city; I [...]
