Four extra-generous supporters to our Kickstarter campaign last year requested cover songs in return for their donations to our recording project. With The Times We Didn’t Have Fun in the can, we finally got around to recording their requests. Susan, Sona, Jon and Mark — these are for you. It’s also free to download, so grab your own Diehard Old Habits covers EP from Bandcamp.

What Diehard Did On Their Summer Vacation
Oh hi everyone. It’s been sort of a quiet summer for Diehard, at least as far as turning up our amps and making music. We did, however, have the pleasure of performing at two excellent music festivals in June: there was the Battering Room showcase at Northside Fest and the summer kick-off Make Music NY.

We also played a really fun show at Death By Audio with these crazy bands Summer People and HotChaCha. Much beer was flung.
Since then, we’ve been busy traveling, practicing our calisthenics, grilling hot dogs and putting down the final touches on our upcoming full-length debut The Times We Didn’t Have Fun, which will be officially released in September.
Our next show is Monday August 29 at The Rock Shop with Extra Arms and our pals Sexy Neighbors. More shows and a CD listening party coming up in September too. Keep an eye on the shows page for updates.
