Debut album, ‘Worst Ways’, set for release November 1st on New Age Records.

California hardcore band Worst Ways dropped their frenetic new single and video ‘Never Know’. The track serves as the second single from their upcoming debut album, ‘Worst Ways’, set for release November 1st through New Age Records. Song is a ballistic anthem showcasing the punk leaning roots of the band. Clocking in at just under 120 seconds with a furious driving rhythm and relentless guitar riffs, this song serves as an ode to rejection and anxiety. The rapid-fire verse builds to an anthemic chorus, with some blisteringly heavy mosh parts thrown in for good measure. The official video, directed by Jarod Keel, adds a cinematic visual element to the tune, letting the track’s attitude show. Filmed at Sacramento’s famous Pancake Circus, the video lends a clever narrative to the deeply self aware lyrics of the song, co-written by long time friend Dan Vanderpool and the band’s vocalist Jonnie.

Hailing from Sacramento, CA, Worst Ways is made up of musicians who have spent their lives playing hardcore & punk in bands like US Roughnecks, Five Victims Four Graves, Cold Trap and more. The ten songs on their debut record are fast, intense, and direct, pushing forward an anxious, nervous, keep you off guard energy. The album was recorded with Paul Miner at Buzzbomb Studios (Trapped Under Ice, Death By Stereo, New Found Glory). Band have a few record release shows scheduled for this November with labelmates Spark Of Life, full dates below.
