Turn To Gold

The gravitational pull of Diarrhea Planet is so strong; once you get caught in the orbit of it's stadium-sized riffs and blistering solos, it's hard to escape. The Nashville six-piece has been melting faces since it's debut 7" Aloha first started making waves outside the leafy campus of Belmont University, where it's members first met. What started as a dorm room dick joke between two friends bored by the music-business ladder-climbing of their classmates has grown into one of the biggest-and loudest-rock acts to come out of Nashville since their big bros and label mates in JEFF The Brotherhood. As they toured the country behind their critically acclaimed 2013 LP I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, the like of Billboard, Rolling Stone, SPIN, and even BuzzFeed have taken notice. Ignore them at your own peril. On their latest LP for Infinity Cat Recordings, Turn to Gold, the Planet boys worked with Vance Powell, the Grammy-winning engineer and Jack White confidant. Powell used his expertise in recording live sound to capture some of the energy of the Diarrhea Planet live experience-they tracked the main guitar and drum tracks live, in the same room, for a record that's both massive and frenetic. It's easily the most sophisticated and complex music they've ever made, but still carries the joyous irreverence that minted thousands of RAWK fans across the country.
