Diet Cig, an American indie rock duo, was formed in September 2014 in New Paltz, New York. The band consists of Alex Luciano on guitar and vocals, and Noah Bowman on drums. They met at a house show where Luciano needed a cigarette lighter and Bowman gave her a bottle of wine instead. By August 2014, they were making music together. Their first EP, Over Easy, was released in February 2015, followed by their debut single "Scene Sick" in January of the same year. In April 2017, Diet Cig released their debut album, Swear I'm Good at This, via Frenchkiss Records. The band performed at notable festivals such as South by Southwest in 2016 and 2017, and Audiotree Music Festival in 2018. Their second studio album, Do You Wonder About Me?, was released in May 2020. In September 2021, they contributed a cover of "The Unforgiven" to the charity tribute album The Metallica Blacklist.
