2017 saw Diet Cig - Alex Luciano (guitar and vocals) and Noah Bowman (drums) - release their debut album, Swear I'm Good At This, to world-wide critical acclaim. The album showcases Diet Cig's 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.

Around the album's release Luciano took place in a round-table discussion hosted by The New York Times whose headline read, "Rock's Not Dead, It's Ruled by Women." The band were previously featured in the paper the week Swear I'm Good At This was released. Diet Cig have also found fans at NPR where in June they were named the favorite band, so far, of 2017 by listeners. They went to their offices for a Tiny Desk Session and played 3 tracks -- "Sixteen" and "Tummy Ache" off the LP and "Harvard." off 2015's EP, Over Easy. To date the band has released the singles "Barf Day," Tummy Ache, "Link In Bio" and "Maid In The Mist."
