Long before Colin Medley was the budding-star director of the Torontoist (and some website called "Pitchfork")-approved Diamond Rings video "All Yr Songs," he was planting his scene documentarist roots in his Oshawa stomping grounds. "I was hanging out [at local venue The Dungeon] a lot, so I sort of naturally fell into making show posters and artwork for some local bands. Near the end of high school I started running a [local music] website called Durhamrock.com, and I think I was still seventeen when I first went to the (now-closed) Velvet Elvis, which was this old house that had been converted into a venue. It was really amazing to discover a place like that in Oshawa. I really felt a stronger connection to the music that I was hearing there."

It may be at the other end of the budget spectrum as compared to our very first Sound Tracks–featured video, but the first video from Toronto's Diamond Rings is possibly even more intriguing. Just watch. Over and over and over.
