Our favorite Canadian, John O, aka Diamond Rings, has just released a new single this week on the German imprint, Tomlab. "Wait & See" finds Diamond Rings taking a more serious tone compared to his first single, "All Yr Songs." He's changing all the rules while hanging out with all the freaks and ghouls. A long way from sharing his warmest sweater with his favorite person in "All Yr Songs." Regardless of the tone in the lyrics, "Wait & See" is just as infectious as his previous single. Diamond Rings has quite the future ahead of him if he keeps on delivering all these catchy tunes. Look for his full-length debut, Special Affections, this spring on Tomlab.
I'd post an mp3 of "Wait & See," but it's only 1.98 on Itunes (with a kick ass Sebadoh cover for a b-side!). Don't be cheap. Support the artist. He needs money for eye make-up.
Diamond Rings will be opening for Think About Life this Sunday at Schubas. 8pm. 8 bucks. Diamond Rings will also be playing a handful of shows at SXSW next week in Austin, TX.
Check the video for "Wait & See" below. Someone asked me the other day how I would describe Diamond Rings, and I responded with a cross between Christian Laettner and Ziggy Stardust. What do you think?
