I was determined to go to an out of state festival for the first time last year. Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama was within driving distance and always had a consistent lineup in past years. My friends and I took the chance and decided to buy early-bird tickets before the lineup was even released to save on money. When the lineup was finally released, it was stacked with great bands from all different genres like Outkast, Andrew W.K. and The Killers but the one name that instantly caught my eye was Diarrhea Planet. I’m a sucker for a good poop joke so without even hearing a single note I knew I had to see these guys live.
Diarrhea Planet’s set at Hangout Fest started at 12:30 PM on the second day of the festival. I powered through my hangover from the previous day and arrived just in time to see them take the stage. I decided to go in blindly without knowing anything about the band except that they were supposed to be great live. By the time I left their show that day I was a full-fledged Diarrhea Planet fan. Check out this “shitty” video from Hangout Fest and you’ll understand why.
Most bands have one, maybe two guitarists, but Diarrhea Planet has four guitarists and they put them all to good use. The band describes their sound as “Pop played through the filter of heavy metal” which couldn’t fit them more. Their music is has catchy pop rifts with the fierceness of a metal song. Soorya wrote a cool article titled “Top 5 Reasons to go see Diarrhea Planet last year (#5 is our favorite).
