Our worst side is opened up to the public.
Seen despite every chance to hide.
Doubled down on ego, pride, and indifference.
Gone to ground. The thread is gone the con is on.
One lie fits all
This tide claims nothing.
This ride, it can’t last long.
Oversight takes the teeth of the beast out.
Alive despite every fatal flaw.
Cover blown, they spend the cash on the backlash.
Long disowned. With no regard the fall is hard.
Long wind. Short sight.
This tide claims nothing.
This ride, it can’t last long.
It’s all gone sideways on our watch.
We took the bait and turned the light out.
With dead red eyes, crane your neck as you follow
the steep red line
that charts the people’s rise to shame.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
