I happened to be at Diehard’s very first show ever last year at Union Hall. If I recall, I said that they had potential, but needed to have more confidence. It seems like the band may have found it. I’ve really been enjoying their song “Cool Kids” lately, which I strangely discovered in my iTunes while looking for Cloud Nothings’ “Hey Cool Kids.” They don’t have any sort of hipster ambitions, fashionably or musically, and there’s something refreshingly 90s alt-rock about their tunes. A very simple band, but one that’s a lot of fun to listen to. Check them out at Cake Shop on Thursday.
Thanks for the write up! It’s true, we are getting too old to care about hipster fashion. But I do have tattoos. That’s cool, right?
