Worlds Worst
Summary
As SLC-based band, Worlds Worst, release their sophomore LP, American Muscle, the band continues to perfect their unique approach to the indie, slacker rock sound. The new LP, released via tastemaker labels Smoking Room and Julia’s War Records, mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley, features standout singles like "Angus," “Gas Hands” and the 2024 track “Motor Mouth.” On American Muscle, the band takes new risks and showcases how they have grown as songwriters while maintaining their noisy, ‘90s rock style. Worlds Worst has toured extensively across the US, headlined Philly's Julia's War Fest, performed at SLC's Kilby Block Party twice, played the new Best Friends Forever Festival in Las Vegas, Boise’s Treefort Fest, and earned recognition as one of Stereogum’s Best New Bands.
