Indie slop-poppers and much beloved live act Diet Cig give us the warm fuzzies.
Earlier this year the duo (made up of Alex Luciano and Noah Bowman) announced the upcoming release of their much-anticipated debut album Swear I’m Good At This and dropped the album’s first single “Tummy Ache,” a track about “unpacking the feeling of approaching punk with radical softness, and the struggle when it’s not always read as powerful or cool or whatever enough.” Now that song has a video to match that’s just perfection and totally powerful. Directed By Robert Kolodny, the video features campers from Girls Rock Philly and Willie Mae Rock Camp thriving in all their mighty grrrl power, rocking out and making “Trans Lives Matter” + “Black Lives Matter” signs. If you look closely you’ll catch Diet Cig in there too glittering up with the girls. PWR BTTM’s Ben Hopkins and Liv Bruce also make cute cameos.
Watch the video for “Tummy Ache” above.
Swear I’m Good At This comes out April 7th via Frenchkiss Records. Pre-order it here and catch them live on tour at the dates below…
