Song of the Day - August 14, 2006

Free Diamonds are a trio from Newcastle, England, who seem to have forgotten to take their Ritalin. This is not disrespect, I mean this in a good way. Their high pitched singing, spastic beats, and crazed energy all contribute to their appeal. Their debut There Should Be More Dancing is truth in advertising, as all the songs challenge the listener to sit still. It is difficult to resist the funky rhythms of a song like "The List of Everyone," which takes a funky bass and combines it with Gang of Four influenced guitars and Scott Anderson's vocals, who sounds as if he is taking a perpetual hit of helium.
