Low Vs Diamond: Tad, Anthony, Howie, Lucas, and Jon. All photos James Tull

It?s rare to find the things we were meant to be doing in life. If you do find it you never want to let it go, you want to grow with it, you want to see it blossom into the greatest thing that ever was.

With in your face chords and lyrics that characterize human emotions, the result is a sound that?s reminiscent of the beginnings of rock blending with current underground notables, showing that Low Vs Diamond has found something they can grow with.

Anthony on the guitar.

They?re amassed on the brink right now, and having released their debut album this past July, things only look bright for this crew who are roused for taking what can be theirs?. You can check them out here:

Last Friday I checked them out at the House of Blues when and caught up with keys and guitar guy Tad Moore for a brief look into their mindsets.

Howie after thrashing the drums.

Transworld SURF: Tell me a little bit about that big moment where music syncs with emotion?
Tad: I definitely think in scores you get an emotion of what?s going on and how to deal with the music. So we try to do that, not necessarily scoring, but more emotion in the music. That can be a sad chord or a progression. Strings help.

How do you balance looking toward the future with optimism and reflecting on loss in the songs?
You don?t want every song to be about someone you know. I think it can come out more genuine if you?re writing about more personal things though. Lucas would love to write a song about being in the mafia or something, but that?s pretending, it?s not real for us.

Tad hooking it up with an interview

You?re on Epic Records, you?ve had national television appearances with David Letterman and Jay Leno, where do you see yourselves going from here?
We?re just gonna keep touring and promoting this record as much as we can, and we?re gonna go to England next year. We?ve been there before, but it was premature, we didn?t have a record out. So we?ll be going there in the summer for the festivals and stuff. We?re doing Kimmel and Craig Ferguson in November, so more TV land.

Lucas going for it

Do the words come first or the beats?
The beats. Luke usually puts it together on the piano, then we go into the studio and jam it out for a long time.

Any band all-time that you?d love to play with?
That?s a tough one. I?d have to say the Stones. It?s my favorite stuff. They were innovative, they were the real bad asses. Beggers Banquet, Let It Bleed, the early stuff after that, you can?t beat it.
