Finally. An indie rock band who doesn’t drench their songs in so much reverb that it covers up the lack of songwriting abilities. Diehard, a fairly new 4-piece out of Brooklyn, is actually bringing the old beloved sounds of the 90s rock back to us with just enough pop flavor to make them become one our favorite new discoveries. Think Superchunk and then pair that sound with the friendly hooks of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (who we also love).

Their name may have you confused with the Bruce Willis film but for a band who writes some bad ass songs without even trying, its suits us perfectly fine to call this group a name which holds such a reputation. With songs like “Cool Kids,” it sounds like it would be pretty difficult for this group to write weak melodies or lyrics.  Check Diehard out below in our BeatCrave Fav series and if you love them as much as we do, don’t forget to vote for them in Friday’s poll!
