Diet Cig announce debut album ‘Swear I’m Good At This’

High-jumping champs and DIY Class of 2017 stars Diet Cig have officially announced their debut album, after hinting it was finished earlier in the week.

‘Swear I’m Good At This’ - complete with embroidered artwork - is out on April 7th via Frenchkiss records, and around the same time, the pair kick off a U.S. tour. There are no UK dates out there yet, but fear not, dear readers; it seems likely they’ll be visiting sooner rather than later.

Along with confirming their debut full-length, Diet Cig have shared more ace music to tide us over. ‘Tummy Ache’ - a belter of a song, which toys with the complexities of showing kindness in the harsh rock scene - gives a taste of what to expect.

“It has a message which is really important to me and other femme people,” Alex told us in Diet Cig’s Class of 2017 feature, speaking about ‘Tummy Ache’. “It’s biting back from a place of sexism in the music industry, and dealing with trying to be punk, hard and tough, but also being soft and empathetic. It’s really hard to be seen as a soft person in punk,” she points out, “even though being soft is actually so much harder and more radical.”
