History

The band was formed in summer 1993, and soon after the world was introduced to their clever use of puns with their 7" release on Fat Wreck Chords, aptly titled Strap On 7. Cock Rock would be their debut full length, released on Honest Don's Records, a partner label of Fat Wreck Chords, for which Diesel Boy was the flagship band. Their second album, Venus Envy (1998), marked the departure of drummer and original member, Mike (Baump) Schaus. Geoff (Lackey) Arcuri formerly of the Florida band Shyster joined Diesel Boy in late 1998. Ryan Greene produced all 4 albums.

The band toured relentlessly from 1995 to 2002. It is estimated that they played in 40 of the 50 U.S. states, every province in Canada (where it is arguable that the band enjoyed its biggest following), Europe for three times, and Australia. During this time they played with the likes of, but not limited to, No Use for a Name, NOFX, Good Riddance, The Vandals, Strung Out, SNFU, Gob, The Goober Patrol, The Ataris, Satanic Surfers, and The Sugar Hill Gang.

Strung Out took them on their first U.S./Canada tour which followed the buzz created by appearance of the band's instant classic "Titty Twister", on the Fat Records compilation Survival of the Fattest.

In 2001, following their last album, the band unofficially split up, because "things just got wound down". They played their last concert in 2002.

In 2006, the band suddenly created a MySpace page, and later in 2009 a Facebook page. In October 2010, the band reunited. On July 18, 2011, it was officially announced that the band will write a new album.

In 2015 the band cancelled their appearance at groezrock festival with no explanation.
