Diesto

Portland, Oregon's Diesto are comprised of Chris Dunn (guitar, vocals), Mark Bassett (guitar, vocals), Captain John (bass), and the Devon (drums), and first emerged at the dawn of the third millennium. At first, the group's sound owed a great debt to the Pacific Northwest's alternative rock tradition, as well as the Amphetamine Reptile roster's post-hardcore aesthetic, but, over time and albums like 2001's Outland, 2004's Doomtown 7, 2008's Isle of Marauder, and 2010's High as the Sun, it evolved into a heavier style infused with sludge and doom elements reminiscent of the Melvins, Tad, and YOB. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
