Diet Cig will be releasing their debut album ‘Swear I’m Good At This’ on April 7th via Frenchkiss and in advance of its’ release, they’ve shared a new single Barf Day. Take a listen via Soundcloud below.
Barf Day comes on the heels of Diet Cig’s video for their previous single Tummy Ache, which saw significant support in the UK and internationally. NPR called the song “undeniable” and the video “a near-utopian space of grrrl power, music and community.” It was directed by Robert Kolodny and stars campers from the Willie Mae Girl’s Rock Camp and Girl’s Rock Philly.
‘Swear I’m Good At This’ is now available to pre-order here – it includes an instant grat of Tummy Ache and Barf Day. Further, Diet Cig will be collaborating with Tuesday Bassen on limited-edition pink silk bomber jackets only available in the preorder bundles. Artist Faye Orlove has designed the tee & sticker sheet that’s is available with the preorder as well.
The band, who are well-known for their energetic and bombastic live shows, will be touring the world in support of Swear I’m Good At This. They will have Girl’s Rock Camp affiliated camp bands and other young musicians joining them to open a handful of shows. “We’re super excited to announce these shows in collaboration with Girl’s Rock Camps across the US! we believe that supporting these young musicians is crucial to the future of rock, and we’re so excited to share our stage with them.”
