In rock journalism, the term supergroup is often doled out a little too easy. But Diamond Rugs fit the bill in most valiant ways - Deer Tick's John McCauley & Robbie Crowell, former Black Lips guitarist Ian St. Pe, Dead Confederate's T. Hardy Morris, Los Lobos' Steve Berlin and Six Finger Satellite's Bryan Dufresne. On the band's new sophomore LP, Cosmetics, each musician maintains the distinct personality you loved about 'em in the first place, while at the same time locking in like puzzle pieces, feeding off each other rin a way that'd make most full-time bands jealous as hell, and leaving in their wake a breezy, wide-open, unpretentious set of rock & roll songs that beg you to dance your ass off.

Great collaboration from members of various bands, most notably in my opinion, John McCauley from the excellent Deer Tick. I enjoyed the first album & thought it may be a one off but luckily I was proved wrong. This one kicks off with 'Voodoo Doll' a rockin' tune with well timed bursts of saxophone. Third track 'Couldn't Help It' has a Buddy Holly vibe, at least to my ear. I won't go through every track of this very enjoyable album but have to mention 'Clean' as it's the track that sums up why I love Diamond Rugs, oh & 'Blame' which is a great little country style song. If you like this then also check out the self titled debut as it's equally as good.
