If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Pat Piasecki We don't typically post about a band releasing a video for a song on an album that was released last year, but every now and then we have to make an exception. Diablogato released Old Scratch way back in 2019, and was one of my favorite EPs of that year. A stand out track from that release was "Blasphemy," which now has a brand new video. It's a throwback to when videos would actually get airplay and a single hit video could make a band's entire career. "Blasphemy" is the type of song that is rooted in rockabilly, but just rocks too hard to quite be that genre. It's just straight up loud rock 'n' roll deeply rooted in early rock music, but still a modern song with a punk edge. You can watch the video for "Blasphemy" below. Old Scratch is available now via State Line Records. You can get a copy via the label's Bandcamp . For more on Diablogato, check them out on Facebook and Twitter .

They have new music coming up next month, and today we can check out "Lipstick & Cyanide." The new song is exactly what I'd expect from Diablogato based on their live show. It's a garage rock/punk hybrid that hints at rockabilly without really going into it full throttle. "Lipstick & Cyanide" may be a mid-tempo song, but it's a full on rocker. The only surprising element to the song is just how hard it grooves . That was a pleasant surprise. You can listen to "Lipstick & Cyanide" below. Old Scratch , the new album from Diablogato, will be out August 23 via State Line Records. You can pre-order your copy here . For more on Diablogato, check them out on Facebook .
