Denver, Colorado’s Weed Diamond have been making their way on to my computer for many months now. One of the most unique, and unexpectedly awesome ways was from Get Off the Coast’s DENVER’s Show and Tell: TV Themes post where Weed Diamond covered the theme to Pepper Ann (there are two other covers on that post by other Denver bands, and believe me all worth checking out).
While I’ve been enjoying their tunes for some time nothing had hit me as hard as their new tracks from their new 7″ on Transparent (pictured above).
“Oklahoma” is a song that just rings out from the first note. The lead up is a little bit of feedback into the crystal clear upbeat guitar riff sets the tone for the entire track. As the drums and the tambourine kick in you can anticipating the vocals about come. The slightly hollow blown out are the perfect acompanyment to the the sing song chorus. The chorus almost reminds me of an oldies tune revamped by these very talented men from Denver. This track has been stuck in my head for days(humming the chorus while I ride my bike is something I commonly find myself going), and I’m starting to wish I knew the lyrics.

The a-side of this 7″ is the slightly more fuzzy “Snowmelt” and Jheri from Get Off the Coast recently did an amazing video for this track…I won’t say any more….just watch:
