Tasty hard rock delivered with an edge, best describes Legs Diamond's unique sound. Legs has cultivated a dedicated throng of true believers whose numbers grow larger with each album and tour. They were formed in Los Angeles, California in early 1975 by Michael Prince, Roger Romeo and Jeff Poole.
Their first official recording was an early version of “Rat Race”, which appeared on an unsigned artist compilation album: “L.A. Soundtrack '76”, which was sponsored by K-WEST radio. The band then signed a recording contract with Mercury Records on November 9, 1976. They opened for KISS on the “Rock & Roll Over” tour before their debut release had even hit the store racks. Their self-titled debut album, plus “A Diamond is a Hard Rock”, and “Firepower”, released from the end of the 70s to the early part of the 80s, blended hard rock with melody and generated great critical acclaim and rabid fan response in many territories.
In 1984, the fourth album, “Out On Bail” was released on Target Records and a follow-up, “Land of the Gun” saw the light of day in 1986. In early 1989, Legs Diamond began writing songs for their next album. In 1990 they released “Town Bad Girl”, their 6th album, and in 1992, “Captured Live”, a recording that truly captured the raw energy and power of hard rock at its best.
In December 1992, the band toured the U.K. for the first time and captured rave reviews from fans and media alike. The band released their 8th album, “The Wish” in 1994 and have continued touring ever since.
They have showcased their live skills & solidified their hard core audience on national tours with: Ted Nugent, Y&T, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Hagar, Triumph, Rush, Nazareth, Bob Seger, Riot, Styx and Moxy, to name a few. Legs Diamond has been hailed as America's Deep Purple.
With the upcoming November 2005 release of “Diamonds are Forever” (a master piece of new songs) and new live shows scheduled, Legs is ready for battle and is stronger than ever. Due to an undying and massive fan request, many of the early Legs Diamond albums are now being released on CD.
The music more timely today than ever, a new album in the fall and a live show that just keeps getting stronger and stronger, point to 2005 and beyond saying truly, “Diamonds are Forever.”
This brand new studio album by this classy band was produced by Michael Prince himself at Clear Lake Audio & A4V Digital Studios during June & July 2005.
