Punk band, Diesel Boy recently dropped their first release in over a decade, their new single “Bismarck.” The song is a skate punk anthem off of their upcoming album Gets Old, out July 28 via SBÄM Records.
“Bismarck is an amalgam of memories about moving to Seattle 20 years ago, a big life change for me,” front man Dave Lake says of the track. “Some of the details are real – there was an actual postcard from a girl I was crushing on, while other details are metaphors for the city itself. Both the girl and my new home struck me as beautiful in similarly unconventional ways. We hadn’t planned on having a woman sing on the track, but Matt Bayles, who produced the record, came up with the idea, and when he suggested Kim Warnick of seminal Seattle pop-punk band The Fastbacks, it was a no-brainer. It completed the circle some 22 years later.:
The band is also gearing up for a tour in support of the album, which includes a few dates in the U.S.
