Kevin Diers was the voice of Seattle. Whether he was turning listeners on to new, exhilarating bands as host of 99.9 KISW’s Loud & Local and Metal Shop shows or excitedly announcing DEFY wrestling matches to crowds of hundreds, he spent much of his life behind a microphone. But for someone who talked so much, it was rarely about himself. He found joy in promoting local bands, creating opportunities for new musicians, and championing the artists he loved. The community loved him for that.

The single arrives with the news of the group’s debut LP I’M SORRY I DIDN’T BITE MY TONGUE, out October 25 via Share It Music. With instant crush vocalist Megan Cannon hailing from Seattle, and her band specializing in recreating Y2K pop-punk, it feels perfectly natural that the group is announcing their debut album with an homage to the 1999 romcom 10 Things I Hate About You.

Nicole Giusti and Yasiman "Yaz" Ahsani are just two punks trying to book shows and stick it to the man by way of their wildly fun band Lemon Boy. With cheeky songs like “Sugar Daddy,” “Bite Me,” and “Guitar Center (Sucks),” their debut album Eat. Skate. Die. is like a sour candy you can’t put down, even after your tongue starts bleeding.
