Diet Cig are happy to announce the forthcoming release of their debut album. Entitled Swear I’m Good At This, the album will be released on April 7 through Frenchkiss Records. Today the band share the first single off the album – “Tummy Ache.”

Of the single, Diet Cig note:

“‘Tummy Ache’ is all 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. Its the shout into my pillow when what I’m saying isn’t being heard, and a big old I FEEL YA to all the femme folks creating space for themselves in a world that wants to keep us quiet.”

The band, who are known for their energetic live shows, will be touring the world in support of Swear I’m Good At This and the first tour is announced today as well. It kicks off April 5 in New Haven, CT at Bar and concludes May 8 at The Catalyst Atrium in Santa Cruz, CA. Diet Cig will play two shows in one night at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right on April 7 and The Echo in Los Angeles, on May 4. Further, the band will play a handful of pre-release dates including at set at this year’s Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco on February 22 and shows during SXSW. The complete list of dates below and tickets go on sale tomorrow, January 13.

Diet Cig is Alex Luciano (guitar and vocals) and Noah Bowman (drums). The two have been playing music together ever since Luciano interrupted the set of Bowman’s other band for a lighter. The New York duo have since released the 2015 Over Easy EP. Swear I’m Good At This was produced, engineered and mixed by Christopher Daly at Salvation Recording Co. in New Paltz, NY with additional recording at Atomic Sound in New York City.
