Release Notes:

Now, if you haven't seen them live, you can be forgiven for the thinking that
New York City's Darediablo are a four-, maybe even a five-piece. What is
unforgivable is A) not seeing them live, and B) confusing the Southern Records
recording artists with any other instrumental band currently slogging it out in
the indie underground. The difference? Their instrumental rock rocks!

While their peers often substitute bleeps and clangs for raw groove and genuine
innovation, Darediablo succeed on the strength of their stripped-down rock
three-piece. It's their unbelievable range of direct influences - from the
1950's @organ trio@ model to the cock-rock of the 1970s to spaghetti western
soundtracks to modern (but not "Nu") metal. And as their latest album, "Twenty
Paces", makes clear, damn near everything in between.

Jake Garcia's guitar and bass effortlessly trade lead and rhythm with Matt
Holford's Hammond and assorted keyboards, inspiring devil horns and raised beers
almost as much for their tension-building restraint as for their arena-grade
riffage. Laying a truly solid foundation, drummer Chad Royce crafts beats with
brawn and brains that don't pull out the rug from underneath Holford and
Garcia's menacing and complex rhythmic barrages.

From Darediablo's self-released "Tunnel of Fire" in 1999, to 2001's double-EP
"Sky Cohete/Subaquatico", on through "Bedtime Stories" in 2002, and their 2003
Southern debut "Feeding Frenzy", they've been compared to an increasingly
diverse array of artists, including Deep Purple, The Fucking Champs, AC/DC,
Booker T and The MGs, Don Caballero, and the MC5, to name a few.

True to their reputation as a relentless road band, Darediablo will set out once
again in Spring '05, hot on the heels of their numerous US tours and their
recent trek to Europe. And true to their name, Darediablo take chances where
others will not, and they burn.
