Emo revivalists, Diet, bring a genuine sound and attitude to their music. The four-piece based out of Staten Island released their debut EP, “Diet,” in 2013, and have a string of shows playing across the northeast this August. The band also released its current single, “I Can’t Sit Still,” this past January.

How did you form?
George and Thom have been playing music together for a really long time. After a few failed bands, they started Diet. Chris joined the band right after the band completed their debut EP, Diet. The final piece of the puzzle came when Fernando became the full time bassist.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Opening for Major League and Stickup Kid at Tobacco Road in Manhattan. That was a really successful show and it was cool to share a stage with bands that we like.
Why should people listen to you? What makes you different?
I think Diet has a little bit of everything. If you like melody, the songs are catchy. If you like noise and chaos, come see our live show. If you like musicianship, it’s there in our music. But most important of all, in a time when music is becoming more processed, more digital, and less human, if you like honesty and reality, listen to our music. When you come see us live, you’ll realize that there’s no difference between the record and the live band. We sound the same because we do everything honestly. There are no fake instruments in our music.
Keep up with Diet on all of their social networks!
