Guadalcanal Diary is back together? Well, sort of. They're taking it slow right now. Every once in a while they play a gig around the Athens/Atlanta area. Guadalcanal Diary was one of the most underappreciated bands on the 80's, Their sound is a mixture of catchy, sharp, sometimes twisted lyrics with thundering drums, catchy bass lines and the well-crafted guitar stylings of Jeff Walls. To the uninformed, it's really difficult to really classify the band's sound. To get a grasp on what the band is like, check out the articles page where you can read a feature from a 1986 Guitar magazine. After you take that in, read up on the band's reunion in 1996. So what now? Seems that the band had so much fun doing those reunion shows that they announced that their seven year "hiatus" was officially over. "Breath," "Blasting Cap," "Monkey Brains," "Be Still," "Change is Good". These are all titles to NEW Guadalcanal Diary songs. As for the old songs, don't worry, they sound better than ever. We get tons of requests for copies of their older albums. The band would love to see those reissued, but they have no control over that. To find out more go here. In the meantime, to get the old songs back out there, "Guadalcanal Diary At Your Birthday Party" was released in November of 1998. (Now sold out). The future...? Who knows?
