Album Review: Diamond Youth – Shake
Varying backgrounds, musical influences, and openness to mixing genres is what makes Diamond Youth really stand out, and the risks they take on their newest EP Shake pay off.

Whether listeners vibe with the turn that A Rocket To The Moon have taken towards a pop impression on light country or prefer their youthful musings without a side of the South, the old sweetness of the band still sits evident just below the surface.
In a world where many criticize modern music for being overly artificial, Diamond Youth brings something genuine and refreshing to the table with their latest EP release.
Lost in a never-ending cacophony of American-inspired guitar squeals, hammering drum beats, and amped-up vocals, the third release from the Swedish-based Her Bright Skies is an angsty young adult power piece whose volume is fit for an arena but whose calamitous structure and predictable composition should be left in the garage.
