Diablo Red came to be in 2002, influenced by classic '70s heavy riffage and dirty southern blues rock. Old friends from their days playing in punk and metal bands in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, Rob Hare and Bill Kole began writing the songs that would form the sonic nucleus of Diablo Red after splitting from their previous bands in 2001. Growing up listening to the great 70's rock and 80's and 90's metal playing on Detroit rock radio, Rob and Bill found their natural style to be the dark space between Sabbath and Skynyrd, with the vocals a mixture of raw rock emotion and dark blues soul.
