you cried out in a dream
said the car made a noise you weren't expecting
so I held your hand, I stroked your hair
I said, "don't worry cause I am here."
the next day you asked what I would do
if a shark ever bit you
I said: "I'd punch it so hard, it'd wish it were dead and if it wouldn't let go then I'd offer my own leg."
So you walked off
satisfied
never doubting for a moment that I was right
and I stared at the door when you were gone
because I knew one day that a hurt would come
that I can't protect you from
if we saw it coming
all we could do is run
so bring on the sharks
and I will punch them all
I will rip every single tooth
from every single row
A super underrated gem of Southern Illinois music. This band only played a handful of shows but each one felt so special, listening to this EP takes me back to their old apartment in Carbondale. Dane Johns
I'm somewhat cheating here with a split of two bands I know and love like the header says, but just listen to this. Long live Backyards! Long live The Regulars! Dane Johns
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
