Cleveland rocks, but Massapequa, New York, has its moments. Just check out local heroes Diffuser, whose major-label debut lurches along in the tradition of early Queen, Mission of Burma, and Buck Pets, with its thundering metronomic beats, artfully intertwined guitar riffs, and high-decibel melodic hooks. Tomas Constanza croons his coming-of-age lyrics with an earnest urgency that unites the alt-rock dynamic excess of "Losers of the Year" with the 1960s pop inflections of "Tell Her This." The band, who dropped their old Flu 13 moniker in order to escape the glut of similarly named outfits, even closes with a hidden track that lovingly sends up '80s hair bands. Helmed by producer Don Gilmore (Eve 6, Lit, Pearl Jam) and mixer Machine (White Zombie, Pitchshifter), Injury Loves Melody is a promising blend of pristine pop and sonic dissonance that should make Massapequa proud. -Bill Forman

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock N' Roll Bliss, January 26, 2001

Diffuser's Injury Loves Melody reminds me of no other modern rock band I've ever heard. The songs are eclectic mixes of classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, pop, and even indie rock. Great music to sing along to, drive to, anything you can think of. I have grown to love 10 out of the 11 songs off this album. My personal faves though would have to be "Tidal", "The Way That I Feel", "I Am", and the only soft ballad "Tell Her This". I see great things for this band in the future, and while this album won't win alot of fans right off the bat.. they will come out on top before too long. This is a solid debut album under the name Diffuser, formerly Flu 13. If you are a fan of the modern rock genre, then chances are you'll find alot to love from this album... AND they ROCK live.. but thats for another day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diffuser is the best new band of 2003, May 3, 2003

I was given a copy of the new Diffuser CD "Making the Grade" by my co-star in my latest movie. I put it in my CD player a week ago and it has not left since. I listen to it every day before, during and after the set. It is truly amazing. 4 days ago I purchased a copy of "Injury Loves Melody". I received it today and I must say I am a fan for life. The lyrics and vocals are unreal. Make sure ya'll support these guys. Can't wait to see them in L.A.

This review is from: Injury Loves Melody (Audio CD)

I went and saw these guys in concert and they Rocked!!! I met the band and even got Tomas to sign my cd and their play list. He is awesome and their music totally kicks ...! I recommend this cd to anyone and everyone. It is a MUST HAVE. The guys are awesome, and they have a great energy...so if they're coming to a town near you, it would be foolish to pass the chance to see them!!!
