One thing I love is when hardcore punk crosses over into thrash metal. One thing I hate, is well sometimes the world. Behold: a band after my own heart, New York’s Worldsucks.
ORDER “NO!/GO!” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
A band not only born of friendship but fueled by frustration. And you thought Stevie Wonder wrote songs in the key of life! The band has stated that they seek out to connect with listeners who feel a “similar sense of rage and exasperation,” and I think that “exasperation” is a perfect descriptor of their overall sound.
The band is heading out on a U.S. East Coast tour in a couple weeks starting May 17th, and with them, they are bringing a new 7″ vinyl of their latest single, “NO!/GO!” Even better news, you ask? It’s actually out today digitally on Bandcamp. Cherry on top that makes this even more of a kick ass release? The band is coupling it with raising money at each leg of the tour to help raise money for regional abortion funds.
Mark (guitar/vocals) and Nick (drums/vocals) have been friends and playing music for 30 years. At some point bassist Tony Doucet joined, and the band has been enthusiastic about his creative contributions on upcoming work in anticipation of an eight-track album due out sometime in 2025.
Lyrically, “NO!/GO!” is a call to action of sorts, going beyond our critiques and observations and posing the question “what’s the way forward?” The band declares that it’s not, what Bob Dylan once described of his early work, one of those “finger-pointin’ songs.” Rather, the band offers this insight (which I thought was pretty cool):
“Our fingers are not pointed at each other, but at the new path we should all be on”
The new single also features a second track, “No Fucks Given,” a heavy song in every aspect figuratively and literally. Underneath the racous posterior of chugging guitars and crash cymbols, it’s ultimatley a tribute to a close friend of Mark’s who has passed away. This person’s memorable and authentic persona lives on in this tune, one the band describes as “the eulogy Mark didn’t get to say.” Do yourself a favor and catch Worldsucks on tour and get a hold of this exclusive 7″ vinyl record here:
