2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Diesel’s first solo record, Hepfidelity. Featuring the hit singles ‘Tip Of My Tongue’, ‘Man Alive’ and more, the record was a huge success on release – it reached #1 on the ARIA charts and stayed there for 4 weeks, and won the ARIA Award for Album Of The Year.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the momentous anniversary, Diesel has uncovered 10 unreleased tracks from the era that were recorded around the world. This transforms the original 11-track record into a double album, which will be pressed in full on vinyl for the first time ever.<\/p>\n
Fans can stream the new track ‘Ride’ now and pre-order the full double-album on vinyl.<\/p>\n
Out August 5.<\/p>\n
BIO<\/p>\n
Born in Fall River Massachusetts, the youngest of seven children from a saxophone-playing tech technician father and a mother in nursing, Mark Lizotte aka DIESEL grew up in Australia and in the U.S.<\/p>\n
He formed the band ‘Johnny Diesel & The Injectors’ in 1986 from remnants of a previous band before embarking on a solo career in 1991. Diesel recently celebrated 30 years “off the bus” landing in Sydney in 1987 after a 3-day bus journey across Australia, launching into 9 shows per week – and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n
With over thirty-five singles, multiple number 1 albums, 6 ARIA awards and a million records sold, DIESEL is a journeyman of music. With blues music in his DNA, an influence largely from his father’s record collection, DIESEL has blended styles to come up with a truly unique sound, punctuated with his distinct guitar playing and vocals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
