THE DIODES
Released
1979 Canada pressing

An incredible, KILLER album.
Super under-appreciated, high-energy and catchy as fuck.

From Toronto, Canada, Diodes put out a handful of great albums during their initial run of 1977-1982.

Here, things get off to a great start with the classic “Red Rubber Ball”, a KILLER take on the classic The Cyrkle song. And it doesn’t let up a single bit from there.

The other classic gem here is Side B’s opener, “Tired Of Waking Up Tired”.

Absolute Canadian punk legends, and just a great fucking album.
