Diet Cig are here to have fun. They’re here to tear you away from
the soul-sucking sanctity of your dumpster-fire life and replace it
with pop-blessed punk jams about navigating the impending doom of
adulthood when all you want is to have ice cream on your birthday.
Alex Luciano (guitar and vocals) and Noah Bowman (drums) have been
playing music together ever since Luciano interrupted the set of
Bowman’s previous band for a lighter. The New York duo have since
released the infectious, 2015 _Over Easy_ EP that introduced
consistent sing-a-long lyrics with thrashing drums and strums that
never held back.
_Swear I’m Good At This_ is the first full-length from the band and
accumulates their tenacity for crafting life-affirming, relatable
tales with a gutsy heart at their core. Luciano has the ability to
write lyrics that are both vulnerable and badass, perfecting a storm
of emotive reflection that creates a vision of a sweaty, pumped-up
room screaming these lines in unison. Diet Cig make it okay to be the
hot mess that you are.
But there’s also a deeper, more powerful fuck-you among the bangers
that see Diet Cig grow into an unstoppable and inspiring force.
“I’m not being dramatic, I’ve just fucking had it with the
things that you say you think that I should be” spits Luciano on
“Link in Bio”; “I am bigger than the outside shell of my body
and if you touch it without asking then you’ll be sorry” she yells
on “Maid Of The Mist”. It’s the sound of a band doing things on
their own terms.
Wrapping up _Swear I’m Good At This_ on Halloween 2016, exactly
two years after they finished recording _Over Easy_ on Halloween
2014, Diet Cig’s first, full-length LP validates the experiences of
punks who aren’t always accepted first time around; the punks who
throw their deuces up at the dominating bro-dudes and ignite the
importance of owning everything that you are.
