Diaz Brothers

Yet another record that I spent a lot of time playing whilst driving around California, but this one isn't a new release. This is the first album by a melodic punk band from the north of England called Diaz Brothers. I checked them out semi recently after I saw Lins87 posting one of their newer records. It sounded like it could be of interest, so I checked the band out, and was immediately into it, so I decided to invest a few quid in a copy of their first LP.

This record was originally released in 2020 during peak covid times so is now five years old. The band has a new LP that came out recently, but I decided to start with the older one. Sometimes listening in chronological order makes most sense.

This clear vinyl copy is from the 4th pressing, and there are 250 in existence.

This is a really good record, and ended up being the record that I played most on my recent California road trip. I think I played this one every single day, and have continued to do so every day since getting home. Definitely the soundtrack to Summer 2025 for me. Clearly I'm goinh to need to also pick up the new one too before it sells out.
