David Kolker and his band have been honing a sound and energy at their residency at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, NYC. They've original music is built on straight-ahead rock and blues—a sound that isn’t tied rigidly to either genre, and consequently bends the unlikeliest ears. Kolker has a markedly individualistic style as a singer, songwriter and as a guitarist. Paul LeFebvre’s pedal steel guitar brings an ethereal twist to this music.  Dimitri Skliar is on guitar and vocals with Nikolaus Schuhbeck and Andrea Monorchio on drums and bass playing with finesse and abandon. David Kolker Band is dynamic and unrestrained onstage.  Recent releases include two new songs recorded at their headquarters in Dumbo, Brooklyn – Let’s Go / Sharp as a Tack

Diesel America has taken the NYC local music scene by storm. In a short amount of time they have developed a signature sound, stage presence, and following that usually takes most bands years to develop. This momentum caught the attention of NYC metal royalty Joey Z (Life of Agony/Stereomud/Carnivore) and their debut album "Leave Your Mark" was born.

The band takes their fans on a journey through the evolution of rock music. Songs like "Leave Your Mark" and "Symptom" drive hard hitting riffs satisfying your need for metal. The punk pop inspired "First Day" and grove of "Backbone" give audiences the perfect tunes with which to let themselves go and sing along. The song structure of the rock anthem "Needle Wicked" and dirty blues inspired "Do What I Want To" and "River Through" make you realize you are listening to some serious musicians. Through this diversity of influence, Diesel America has created a style all their own.

Diesel America is the kind of band that in a few short years from now, fans will be arguing about who knew them first before they became a national hard rock powerhouse. This NYC original is not to be missed.
