Traversing a multitude of genres, Melbourne/Naarm-based On Diamond take an anomalous look at alternative pop. Their sound relies on an interactive group dynamic and is inspired by folk, noise, rock, jazz, and improvised music, with lyrics that are both personal and poetic.
On Diamond’s output has seen the band attract critical acclaim - their 2019 self-titled debut album (Eastmint Records) was celebrated as one of the year’s finest, garnering nominations for The Australian Music Prize and Music Victoria Awards’ Best Album, as well as receiving Album Of The Week on Triple R, 4ZZZ, and PBS, and being included in PBS’ Top Ten Albums of 2019.
In 2024 On Diamond hosted a monthly residency at Cross Street Music Hall, showcasing their singular approach to music and remarkable ability to deliver an affecting live show.
Their long-awaited second studio album, recorded between 2022-2023, is due for release in 2025 via Eastmint Records.
Since forming in 2016, On Diamond has embraced an evolving line-up of well-loved musicians. The current ensemble features Lisa Salvo (vocals), Scott McConnachie (guitar and synth), Myka Wallace (drums), Jules Pascoe (bass), Duré Dara (percussion), and Genevieve Fry (harp). Previous members include Maria Moles (drums), Hannah Cameron (guitar, vocals), Joe Talia (drums), and Stewart Taylor (bass).
