[News] Diamond Rings Announces European Tour
What a way to round out an already great year for Diamond Rings. After signing to Astralwerks and releasing his debut album, Special Affections, the pop sensation will now be heading out on tour starting in November in support of the ever electro-fantastic Junior Boys.
Diamond Rings will also be releasing a limited edition 7" of "You + Me" that will have his signature danceable interpretation of Teenage Fanclub's "Mellow Doubt" as the b-side.

[Watch] Diamond Rings - "You & Me" (Video)
Toronto's Diamond Rings has unveiled his latest video for his single, "You & Me" from his debut album Special Affections, which is available now on Astralwerks. The video was directed by Jeff Scheven and depicts two kids who join forces to take everything the world has in store for them, even bullies and monsters that are out there.
According to John O'Regan (Diamond Rings), the video hits pretty close to home as it was stylized to represent experiences from his childhood. In his own words, "'You & Me' is about transcending adversity by harnessing the power of a shared creative consciousness." So hopefully his message of celebrating differences instead of repressing them is properly represented to one and all. A hat tip to Diamond Rings for just wanting us all to get along!
Diamond Rings is currently on tour with Twin Shadow. Have a look at tour dates after the jump.
