Details

Vocalist Alison Bellavance and Guitarist Matt Boylan started Spark Is A Diamond in 2006 after the disbandment of their former band, popular Pennsylvania hardcore act Fall River. They go in a new direction here, creating a mix of punk and hardcore with heavy dance beats and alternating female/male vocals. The results lay somewhere between the electronically tinged punk assault of Refused and the body-thumping riffage of Death From Above 1979.

Their Pluto Records debut full-length, Try This On For Size, released May 6th, 2008 is a fast, furious romp full of manic dance-punk energy and hardcore spirit, triumphing in a style all their own.

Recorded & Engineered by Paul Leavitt at Valencia Recording, Baltimore, MD.
Mixed by Matt Bayles at Red Room Recording, Seattle, WA.
Mastered by Michael Fossenkemper at Turtle Tone Studio, New York, NY.
