Dear Diary is a rock group from Germany. The name is associated with more than one act, but the German band is the one described most fully in the available facts. That group forms in Giessen and is active from around 1995 to 2009.

German emo and hardcore band

The Giessen line-up plays emo and hardcore. It includes Dennis Kühn on lead vocals and guitar, Martin Fritsch on guitar, Matthias Marx on drums, and Kai Zipse on bass.
