The Alternative-Rock band Diffuser started out in 1994 in Long Island,
New York USA, performing and recording under the moniker Flu Thirteen
with Tomas Costanza on vocals+guitar, Anthony Cangelosi on guitar, Lawrence
Sullivan on bass and Billy Alemaghides on drums.
In 2000, the band released a teaser of one new song entitled "Karma",
which appeared on the "Mission Impossible II" soundtrack. With
a bigger, more structured, melodic sound, "Karma" made the top
30 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart and hit #20 on The Mainstream Rock
Tracks. But fans would have to wait patiently over a year for Diffuser's
full-length major label debut. Released in January 2001 on Hollywood Records,
"Injury Loves Melody" was supported for approximately 18 months
with live appearances with such acts as Toadies,
SR-71 and Simple
Plan.
Taking some much needed rest in 2002, Diffuser began writing again and
was ready for a new sonic challenge, more melodies and Pop elements thrown
into the mix. Ten months and sixty songs later, Costanza and Cangelosi
had a box set of new tracks to pick from as well as some additional changes
to their line-up, Pete Schojan on bass and Dan Leo behind the drum set.
Midway through 2003, the quartet issued its second album, "Making
The Grade" and the accompanying single/video "Get It On".
In support of the album, the band toured nationwide with additional dates
overseas first opening for Hoobastank
and The All-American Rejects.
Poor sales saw them dropped by their label, Hollywood Records and in 2004
the members of Diffuser decided to call it a day.
Based on overwhelming support and interest from a small but loyal following,
Costanza, Cangelosi, Schojan, Leo along with additional guitarist Keith
Hille, re-united in the fall of 2007 to record songs for a new Diffuser
album. Entitled "Sincerely, Wasting Away", it was released on
Chamberlain Records in August 2008.
