Wreaking havoc from the Bay area to the Hollywood Hills is San Jose’s DIAMOND LANE, delivering a deliciously infectious blend of rock and roll with an unbeatable stage presence. Since their Hollywood debut in 2009 to a sold out crowd at The Viper Room, this California foursome has ballooned into one of the next mammoth rock phenomenons. Their third record, World Without Heroes, dropped on May 10th, and promises to be one of their most impressive and adventurous endeavors to date.

Front man Brandon Baumann leads the straight forward rock unit, supported by Jarret Reis on guitar, Ray Zhang playing bass, and Jonah Nimoy holding down the drums and percussion. Their presence throughout California continues to grow, landing them back to back performances at the Sunset Strip Music Festival as well as in nearly every iconic venue throughout the Golden State, including opening slots for worldwide behemoths such as AEROSMITH or ZZ TOP. Capable of inking everything from hard driving rock to radio friendly singles, Diamond Lane keeps the tunes flowing and the party shaking everywhere they turn up.

World Without Heroes sees the band growing and maturing, while still remaining true to their heavy roots and influences, utilizing everything from thunderous double bass drumming to ear searing guitar solos. Baumann’s soaring vocals lead the charge, spinning songs which have the feel of a late Friday night spun out of control, backed by energetic guitar riffs and rock solid bass lines which drive the band up and over the naysayers. Featuring ten tracks which clock in at a shade under 40 minutes, the brand spanking new record allows fans to bite off as much as they can chew while head banging and fist pumping themselves into musical oblivion.

To celebrate the album’s release, Diamond Lane kicked things off with a CD release party at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood on Friday, May 13th. Accompanying them were fellow rockers LOVE AND A .38 as well as BOLT ACTION THRILL, and fans were treated to drink specials, raffles, giveaways, and many more special surprises along the way.

World Without Heroes is available now from digital retailers such as iTunes, and fans can stream or download songs from the album via the group’s Bandcamp, Myspace, or ReverbNation pages.
