When you’re young, making friends is a breeze — sometimes it’s easy as sharing a pile of Play-Doh or exchanging emo CD mixes. (I’m showing my age here, I realize.) It gets tougher as time goes on, to the point that finding legitimate BFFL candidates is as draining as locking in a soul mate.
CoSigned two-piece Diet Cig know these friendship woes all too well, as its a theme that runs throughout their latest single, “Barf Day”. Here, peppy and anthemic pop punk melodies are contrasted with guitarist/vocalist Alex Luciano’s sobering reflections as she nurses a beer all alone on her 21st birthday. “Just like my plants/ Can’t keep anything alive,” she sings. “I’m sick of being my own best friend/ Will you be there in the end?”
