So what do you need to know?
1) Diamond nights is a 70's revivalist arena rock type band. Think Darkness only without the spandex jump suits and falsettos.
2) It doesn't come off as campy.
3) Influences: Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, T-Rex, The Cars. You'll hear them all in here. If you like that, you love this. If not you'll hate it.
4) Retro bands usually fall flat on their faces after one album. It's a short career, mainly becuase you've got no where to go to. Write something original, your fans will hate it, and non fans wont listen since they hate you for not writing something original in the first place. Do more of the same, and your fans won't buy it anyway because more than likely the next big nostalgia band knock off has debuted and stolen the spotlight away. (Cough Cough. Darkness!!. Cough!)
Diamond Nights: Popsicle will probably be that. A fun listen but by no means anything lasting. but in the mean time enjoy it for what it is. Cue extended mastabatory guitar solo.
