DIESEL PHOENIX RELEASE NEW ALBUM HERE’S SOMETHING WE PREPARED EARLIER OUT TUESDAY 27 OCTOBER

Auckland based rock band Diesel Phoenix are set to release their new album Here’s Something We Prepared Earlier on 27 October. The album features the single ‘First Kiss’ which is out at commercial radio now.

Diesel Phoenix definitely have a unique sound, aptly described by some in the industry as “anthem rock with pop vocal melodies”. Diesel Phoenix have the energy both on and off the stage and evidently, they need it - 2009 has been a busy year for the band and will be topped off by a nationwide New Zealand tour to spread the message that bullying is not OK, in support of stoptheviolence.org.nz. Described by the Taranaki Daily News as “A rock band that cares”, Diesel Phoenix began recording this more recent album directly off the back of their March 2009 nationwide charity tour in support of CanTeen. Following the first-hand experience of bullying through one of their loyal fans, the band have created a purpose-written song titled 'Just a Kid' for their new cause and aligned themselves with the right organisations to make a difference.

Other commercial successes in the band’s career portfolio include being awarded a MySpace Music People’s Choice award in 2009, and their debut single ‘You’re Yuck’ sitting at number 1 on the Kiwi download charts for 11 weeks straight.

Always leading, as opposed to following, Diesel Phoenix set a new benchmark for the industry when they released their debut album White Lies & Black Hearts in October 2007, offering the entire album for free download in mp3 format. With an Australian tour under their belts and further touring scheduled Diesel Phoenix members Sam Polwart (vocals), Richard Hurliman (Guitar), Alan Grainger (Bass), and Logan Wedgwood (Drums) are extending their musical reach globally.

What do you think is the best part about being a fan of DonkeyPunk?

Well I believe its that they treat all their fans like friends and really how they are all so down to earth and love each and everyone of their fans for who they are and how they support the band.
