The Worms

The Worms is a former duo turned three-piece from London playings some kind of garagish punk since 2015 or something.

The band features members of Omi Palone, Tense Men, ES (which released a new album in April) and Primetime among others...

Released in 2016 on Negative Space, Everything in Order is the first full-length of the band, featuring 12 songs of garage punk. Nothing really new here but it sounds like a band which could be on Total Punk along with the guys from Brandy or Curleys.

Simple and straight to the point The Worms is here to keep punk silly and enjoyable...

and it works!

And as the world got busier and busier it took almost four years for our three invertebrates to lay a new album.

Back From The Bog was released as a tape on Hidden Bay Records early 2020 and without being a total revolution after the first full length brings a lot of interesting new ingredients to the British compost.

The Total Punk Records vibe is not gone but The Worms have got meaner with time... The riffs are sharper, the vocals are angrier, the lot is just...punker!

... and crazier: the wild and frantic guitar solo at the end of Humble Brag, the breaks and background synth (is it?) in MLTL, the super nervous Belly of The Beast but more than everything the psychedelic insanity of Bored of Bastards and Anxiety Pit and the obsessive hammering riffs of Frequency of Behaviour...

The Worms manage to deliver a lot-smarter-than-it-looks album which does not betray the sound and energy of their first release but on the contrary enriches it of a tasty touch of out-of-the-line delicacy...

N,J'Oi!
