Biography
Delilah and Ursula Holliday are sisters and had played together in a two piece, Typical Girls, before forming Skinny Girl Diet with their cousin, Amelia Cutler, around 2010, in their early teens. The name is a reference to feminist critique of the dieting industry.
Skinny Girl Diet performed their first gig between the ages of 12 and as the opening act for former Slits guitarist Viv Albertine. Since then, they have become known for bringing an updated approach to the feminist art punk ideals associated with the Riot Grrrl Movement of the 90s. They have been vocal about addressing the lack of female musicians that still exists in today's music industry, as well as other issues of equality under a contemporary feminist context.
The group also contributed work to the "Female Matters" exhibition to raise funds and awareness about the fight against FGM.
In 2015, they were featured on Billboard.com's list of "20 All-Female Bands You Need To Know." and featured on the cover of The Beat Magazine's Spring Issue.
Influences
The band cites a range of musical influences, ranging from Japanese metal, punk, to David Bowie. Their influences also include Clara Rockmore, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Memphis Minnie, Mc5, Pussy Galore and The Breeders.
Releases
Skinny Girl Diet released a split EP with the Ethical Debating Society in 2013, on HHBTM Records, featuring Skinny Girl Diet's tracks "DMT" and "Homesick".
In July 2014, Skinny Girl Diet released their EP "Girl Gang State of Mind." They have collaborated with fashion designer Claire Barrow and the pop-punk band Matches, along with producing various DIY zines.
