Orange is the follow up to the band’s well-received official debut, Don’t Lose Your Cool, recorded by Paul Leavitt (Circa Survive, All Time Low). In support of the upcoming release, Diamond Youth will share the stage with AWOLNATION, Braid, Into It. Over It., and Cut Teeth on a handful of upcoming shows. Full tour dates are listed below.

Diamond Youth brings quite the diverse resumé to the table. With a rigorous background in art, design and skateboarding, the boys of Diamond Youth are known for their ability to create and produce all of their own artwork, merchandise, web sites and videos. Claiming Baltimore as their home, members of Diamond Youth are spread across Chicago as well, creating an obstacle in terms of actually practicing as a band. However, using tools of the trade such as 3-way iChat, garage band, and voice note files, Diamond Youth has released 2 EP’s in their short tenure since the summer of 2010 and are set to release their third EP, Orange, on January 22^nd, 2013.

Despite the varying musical tastes of each member in Diamond Youth, they all share a very common back catalogue of bands who have inspired and defined their developing years as budding artists. From Weezer to Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and all the way back to the Beach Boys, the influence these bands had on Diamond Youth is ever-apparent in the music they write.

On the new track, guitarist Sam Trapkin says, “‘Cannonball’ is our favorite song we’ve ever written. Actually, I don’t know if that’s true. But it’s definitely one of mine.”
