Somewhere deep within the northern woods, a trail crew is wrapping up its season
with a final all night from dusk 'til dawn rager. Multiple handles of Jack are
consumed; PBR freely flow out of cans into mouths, hair, and the ground. People
exploit tiki-torches to spit fire igniting a gasoline-soaked chair nestled in
the middle of a yet to be started bonfire. Young men and women with shaved mohawks
are burning things they don't need anymore like clothing, equipment,
and/or facial hair. This is one of those parties where drunk people with an acute
attraction for wrestling and making a lot of noise get sweaty with pick axes.
Young people are getting weird in the woods and not thinking about tomorrow. As
the summer fades to fall, Brainworms sets up to be the houseband.
With a pedigree featuring ex and current members of Stop It!!,
Ultra Dolphins, Snack Truck, and Are You Fucking Serious?, Brainworms have
quickly made a name for themselves whether they intended to or not within the realm of whatever
the kids are calling it these days. Sure, you can ramble about how they're better than most
bands playing out today but that still can't hold a light to actually going to a Brainworms show. Vocalist Greg Butler is the perfect frontman for the new generation of punks worn down by the working week. Musically, Brainworms are a little too melodic for the hardcore scene and a little too gruff for the fashion show scene. Brainworms have created a niche for themselves writing some of the burliest, intense music punks have heard in a long time.
In the summer of 2005 the band and a large group of their friends entered the
Minimum Wage Studio in Oregon Hill to record a live demo in the studio with no overdubs or anything,
this was their demo for the next year. The following summer a tape was released by Ctrl C Ctrl V
that was the bands first studio recording. Combine the two recordings makes the ultimate record
"Which is Worse".(Jeff Beyers)
