After beginning as a casual project between Alex Luciano (guitar) and Noah Bowman (drums), New Paltz, New York's Diet Cig have made a big statement out of five highly infectious pop songs. The duo's February 2015 debut EP, Over Easy, consists of lyrics written by Luciano in her bedroom. While recalling the sound of speedy twee-pop groups like Tiger Trap and All Girl Summer Fun Band, the record explores "the innocence of adolescence and infatuation." With Bowman's crashing drum kit offering stationary support, Luciano becomes an onstage tornado as lines between band and audience blur into a massive dance party.
