Episode 3 - 18-09-2008

Well kids! late updates are better than none.

this week saw the on-air review of the spectacular new 6 track EP by melbourne's The Diamond Sea.  

The Diamond Sea - Slow Signal EP

A true diamond in the rough,  Slow Signal, the debut EP from Melbourne band the Diamond Sea is a frenticly paced celebration of indie-rock.  

Stand out track "safekeeping" plays like a long-lost sleater-kinney b-side.  Dual vocals shout and sing together in unison over angular guitar riffs that weave their way through the track.  

Slow Signal is a sign of things to come from a promising, upcoming melbourne band who have a tight, refined sound.

Keep a watchful eye out for them.

PRO: even the instrumental tracks hold their own weight. Strong, punchy indie-rock.  a must own for fans of 2000-2002 era pretty girls make graves and sleater-kinney. 

CON: there's only six tracks here.

you can order your copy of the Slow Signal EP via Yellow Ghost Records.
