Toronto alternative rock/ blues rock band Bloody Diamonds return to Lethbridge, Oct. 8 to play Attainable Records in support of their new EP “Tough Love.”
They are enjoying touring the east coast first.
“We’re actually from Halifax originally,” said Bloody Diamonds lead singer/ guitarist Sara Elizabeth, who is joined by guitarist Jake Seaward, Mike Allain and Max Mancuso.
They are pleased with the new EP.
“It’s more dirty, gritty, raw and powerful. It’s probably our favourite recording,” Elizabeth said.
“We started working on it in 2015 with a producer and we spent a lot of money but we weren’t happy with it so we scrapped it all. Then we went in and recorded the new EP in five days,” said guitarist Jake Seaward.
“They are solid rocking songs and the lyrics are really heavy about shit that has gone down. We write about really painful things,“ Elizabeth said, adding some of the darker lyrics such as about locking somebody in the trunk of her car are exaggerated.
“Some of them are very extreme but they’re pretty challenging and over-exaggerated,” she said.
“We filmed it on Toronto,” said Seaward.
“We wanted to capture how we feel about the live experience in a small club in an empty space,” he continued.
They are looking forward to returning to Lethbridge.
“It will be a pretty heavy set. It will be loud with a lot of vocal power,” he said.
