Worst Ways Unleash “Shattered” Single

Sacramento, CA’s 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. Today the band announce their signing to New Age Records and debut self-titled album, Worst Ways, that is set for release on November 1st. The ten songs on the record are fast, intense, and direct, pushing forward an anxious, nervous, keep you off guard energy. Lead single Shattered is out now and is a dynamic introduction with fast paced drums, groove-driven riffs and attitude-filled vocals. Marshall Lichtenwaldt (The Warriors) joins in on guest vocals, adding a rigid dimension to the track.

“From the opener, ‘Never Know,’ dealing with topics like rejection and regret, to track 9, ‘Fragile & Frail,’ with it’s kind of neurotic feeling opening riff, that opens up midway just to double down on the frantic energy; telling yourself, that inner monologue that keeps you from finishing anything to shut the fuck up. There are certainly topics explored like loss, not just of loved ones, but of loss of self, loss of direction, and that those things aren’t always the negative they might seem in the moment. While this is our debut album with this project, we feel like it’s definitely the culmination of our time in other bands that make it special, we are just getting started and seeing what we can push, where we can go together with this line up. We really want people to find their own meaning in these tracks as much as possible, and not tell them what or how to feel about it. We are excited to be working with Mike and New Age Records on this release. Their roster, past and present, has always been influential to us in previous projects and can’t wait to play alongside some of these great bands. We will be linking up for a few select California dates with Spark of Life in early November and looking forward to more!“
