Welcome Diamond Youth To The Topshelf Family!

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Topshelf Records) Topshelf Records are extremely excited to share with everyone the newest addition to the family, Diamond Youth. The guys just finished up in the studio with Brian McTernan recording their next EP that we will be releasing early next year. The band is currently on tour with The Swellers, Misser and Young Statues.

"Diamond Youth is like the end of that romantic comedy where the lead actress finally realizes the guy she's truly searching for has been by her side the entire time."

Claiming Baltimore as their home, members of Diamond Youth are spread across Richmond and Chicago as well, creating an obstacle in terms of actually practicing as a band. However, using tools of the trade such as 3-way iChat, garage band, and voice note files, Diamond Youth has released 2 EP's in their short tenure since the summer of 2012.

Despite the varying musical tastes of each member in Diamond Youth, they all share a very common back catalogue of bands who have inspired and defined their developing years as budding artists. From Weezer to Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and all the way back to the Beach Boys, the influence these bands has had on Diamond Youth is ever-apparent in the music they write.

Heavily influenced by "90's alternative music, skateboarding, and girls," and such bands as Weezer, Foo Fighters, QOTSA and the Beach Boys, Diamond Youth will be touring this fall with Misser and Young Statues. Dates kick off September 14 in Poughkeepsie, NY. They will stay on the road throughout the fall. Details on additional dates will be revealed shortly.
