Like a shot of strong tequila, Black Diamond Folds' music burns with a sort of matured melancholia that alludes to those moments of intense solitude and introspection we all have at some point in our lives. Coupled with the able musicianship of members from local legends like Fishtank, Sideshow Judy and various other bands who have made their mark in the scene, the result is a repertoire that is both nostalgic and fresh in this current musical landscape.

 

Like its name suggests, the band stands for a resilience against the silencing effect of reality on the musician, how bands may come and go, but players, will continue to play. May this black diamond continue to shine on.

I caught up with the band in bassist Ery's crib and discussed the usual. Check it out in the videos below:
