Sleep Talk / Dinner Date is a Father/Daughter (US) and Art Is Hard (UK) co-release. The 7″ is limited to 1000 copies on white frosted clear vinyl. The songs with be available digitally — “Sleep Talk” and “Dinner Date”  later both will be released on vinyl 18th September. Like previous release  “Over Easy”  it was recorded with Christopher Daly at Salvation Recording Company in New Paltz, NY and mastered by Jamal Ruhe at West West Side Music.

After beginning as a casual project between Alex Luciano (guitar) and Noah Bowman (drums), New Paltz, New York’s Diet Cig have made a big statement out of five highly infectious pop songs. The pair met under rather unusual circumstances: Luciano, desperate for a lighter, interrupted the set of Bowman’s other band, Earl Boykins. No lighter was to be found, but a friendship was sparked and Diet Cig was born.

Upstate New York duo Diet Cig, Alex Luciano and Noah Bowman signed up to Father/Daughter Records home to the band Pure Bathing Culture to release their debut EP “Over Easy”.

The EP is five-tracks of fun and melodic lo-fi pop punk music and the video for the track ‘Scene Sick’, a song which addresses the self-importance of musicians in a band matches that visually in the opposite way, with Alex dancing along in cute fashion that trivialises all other music further.

Diet Cig,  are the rising New Paltz, New York duo who tell it like it is. Whereas the jangly indie poppers called out shitty bands and DIY-hypocrisy on debut single “Scene Sick”, their newest song, “Harvard”, finds them taking hoity-toity Ivy Leaguers to task.

Atop explosive guitars and ramshackle drums, Alex Luciano acerbically sings to her ex, “How’s your new Ivy League girlfriend? Is she boring too in the way I couldn’t stand to be?” It’s a biting, angry, and ultimately charming dose of pop punk. Along with “Scene Sick”, “Harvard” will appear on the band’s debut EP, “Over Easy”, which is out February 24th via Father/Daughter Records.

Outside of a handful of shows, Diet Cig have virtually no footprint; the song we’re premiering below, “Scene Sick,” is the first track they’ve ever released to the public. So I’m going to have to get a little personal to get my point across that you have to listen to this band. Their heart-stopping debut EP (which is out next month via Father/Daughter Records, I’ve been playing it non-stop it helped me get through a particularly depressing winter season with a smile. So who are they, Diet Cig are a duo made up of Alex Luciano and Noah Bowman, based out of the fertile ground that is SUNY New Paltz. Their clean-cut, driving punk isn’t treading any new sonic ground, but they have five stone-cold classics on their debut “Over Easy” EP, which is brimming with an intense and undeniable energy. They’re instantly likable, effortlessly anthemic, and delightfully easygoing — and they inspire a boundless enthusiasm in me that feels like I’m rabidly foaming at the mouth.

The EP plays like a greatest hits record, even though the band only came together this past summer. Luciano’s lyrics are incisive, endlessly quotable, and beg to be dissected and taken to heart. Noah Bowman injects these songs with a gooey and lived-in freneticism; his drumming is like oxygen fanning the flame. “Scene Sick” .
