Pluto Records signs Spark Is A Diamond

Official press release: Pluto Records is pleased to announce the signing of Philadelphia's Spark Is A Diamond. Formed in the summer of 2006, the band mix punk and hardcore, heavy dance beats, and alternating female/male vocals, resulting in a style somewhere between Refused and Death From Above 1979. Featuring vocalist Alison Bellavance, guitarist/vocalist Matt Boylan, and drummer Joe Crawford, the trio have previously released an EP with Emerald Moon Records. The band adds: "We are stoked to work with Brian and Pluto Records. We've been fans of the label for years, and we are really excited to now be a part of that family and great roster of bands." Spark Is A Diamond have just completed recording their full-length debut in Baltimore, MD with Paul Leavitt (Circa Survive, The Bled) and will be mixed by Matt Bayles (The Blood Brothers, Mastodon). The album, titled "Try This On For Size," is expected to hit stores in May.
