The Dirty Diamonds

My good buddy, Mike Perry (aka Black Holes), and his band, The Dirty Diamonds, are just about ready to drop their debut album, Monster Ballads. In case you’re unfamiliar with The Dirty Diamonds, they’re a very solid band out of Chicago with a penchant for balancing pop, soul and doo-wop. Their new album will most likely be the soundtrack for many-a-folks’ Summertime cookouts this season, because good pop music (such as theirs) and warm weather were basically made for each other. As a whole, the best part about the album is the continuity. Not only do they do a great job of maintaining a rich soul experience, but the final mixdown smoothly transitions each song into the next, which means you could keep that puppy on repeat all day long.

Get a taste of these good vibrations with their featured track, “The Right Direction”, and mark April 13th on your calendars because UR Chicago will be giving away the Diamonds’ new album for free. If you can’t wait until the 13th, gear up for the album release party (Saturday, April 10th) with Flosstradamus and free beer, details below.
