Lisa from On Diamond joined Laura & Nat in the Local Roots studio to chat about her recently released album and upcoming launch gig.

Combining the pop song form with an improvisatory freedom of expression, five piece ON DIAMOND are a genre breaking act lead by songwriter/vocalist Lisa Salvo. The band’s energetic sound is made up of cascading melodies, unfettered effects and an interactive group dynamic.

Following on from Lisa’s debut album I Could Have Been A Castle (released digitally 2014 and on vinyl 2015 via Eastmint Records), the band evolved into a more collaborative project, moving further away from a conventional pop sound and into the avant-garde, while firmly anchored by incisive songwriting.

On Diamond have released three singles (Long Road, Light and How), toured Japan, and are set to release their anticipated debut album April 12 2019 on Eastmint Records.
