Diablogato

Old Scratch

(Rum Bar Records)



Looming on Diablogato's gig schedule is a February 24 Massachusetts one at which they'll open for luminary Slim Jim Phantom. State Line Records first issued Old Scratch in 2019, but Rum Bar just returned it to store bins. (It's also now available as a digital album.) Diablogato's loud, strapping presence unfolds in all directions simultaneously. Vocals of bold nature have an eager cohort in charging instrumentation that features stormy guitar urgings. As if their original compositions and muscularity didn't sufficiently establish cred, rampageous covers of romps by fellow Boston brawlers Kings Of Nuthin' and the Ducky Boys underscore that Diablogato is as serious as a brick to the jaw.

Recommended: "Boston Blood, Memphis Heart (Get On Up), "Magic 8-Ball," "Too Far Gone," "All I've Lost," "Out Of the Rut"

Video: "Too Far Gone"
