DIEMONDS – Never Wanna Die

Canadian-bred Diemonds is a female-fronted Hard Rock band, and Never Wanna Die is their 2^nd release to date. The Runaways and especially Joan Jett set the bar for bad-attitude female-fronted Hard Rock bands, and then a number of outfits like Skew Siskin and Crucified Barbara took the ball and ran way farther with the concept, creating music with even more interwoven piss and vinegar.

Diemonds, however, does it as well or better as any of the previously mentioned … Priya Panda mixes in plenty of melody with her hostility, making for perhaps the best female-fronted Hard Rock album of 2015.
