Burning Stars: Diffuser has been on hiatus for
a few years. What was the reason you went on
hiatus and what made you decide to get back
together?
Tomas: We all got the itch to record new material.
Our small but loyal following was asking us to make
a new CD for a while so we figured we might as well.
BS: Your new album, Sincerely, Wasting Away
just came out. What was the main inspiration
for this album?
Tomas: Food...
BS: Originally supposed to be released in July.
Why did the album get pushed back?
Tomas: I forgot to send the masters to the label.
BS: How many songs did you write for the
album and how did you narrow it down to the
10 songs you chose?
Tomas: We wrote 10 so it wasnt hard to pick the
final sequence.
BS: I know your album is on iTunes and
Amazon. Will you be releasing it as a hard copy
soon or will it only be available as a download?
Will you be releasing it in other countries?
Tomas: It's digital only. We're releasing the CD in
Kuwait and China.
BS: The album has a really different name and
album art. How did you pick the title for the
album? Can you tell me about the album art?
Tomas: The name of the CD was sarcastic for the
way the band has been talked about amongst
publications. The pic on the CD was shot by
Anthony's wife..
BS: Have you decided on a single to represent
the album? If so, will you be shooting a video
for it or have you shot one already?
Tomas: "This Is Perfection" is the single. We won't
be shooting a video.
BS: I noticed in your Myspace photos you now
have a fifth member. Who is he and what
made you decide to add another member to
the band?
Tomas: The new member is a great friend of ours
that has influenced the band over the years. We
decided to bring in another member so I don't have
to drive the tour van anymore..
BS: On your MySpace it says the band will be
touring the US and UK. Do you know when the
tours will be? Will it be a full US tour or are
you only hitting certain cities?
Tomas: Still not sure when we'll be touring.
BS: Diffuser has been around for about 14
years now. What has been the most
memorable experience thus far in your career?
Tomas: Having sex with Alyssa Milano.
BS: Do you have anything else you would like
to add that maybe we didn't cover in the
interview or any final words for your fans?
Tomas: Yes, eat pork!
