North London trio Skinny Girl Diet have been gaining attention over the last couple of years with their uninhibited Riot Grrrl-inspired, grunge-fuelled sound. They have also been receiving plenty of acclaim from big names in the industry.
Not only have they been played by John Kennedy on Radio X, and received praise from Everett True, but one of their biggest fans is none other than The Slits’ Viv Albertine. Of the young trio, Albertine says that they’re “raw, direct and unpretentious – these girls are timeless.”
And I most certainly agree. Still in their late teens, sisters Ursula and Delilah Holliday, along with cousin Amelia Cutler, this year have been perfecting their rousing, raucous sound, and their empowered attitude is just what the world needs right now.
With Holliday’s vocals reminiscent of a young Dalle or Love – with their own distinct London twang – Skinny Girl Diet could be one of the most exciting bands to come across this year. Skinny Girl Diet are set to play Bestival 2016, and I have no doubt we’ll be hearing a lot more from them throughout the year. You can’t afford to miss them.
