What would you expect from “America's Most Delicious Band"? Probably a pair of insanely hot legs dangling out the front, probably some buff hairy men holding up the back, probably some slightly risqué song titles, probably some dumb press release calling themselves “America's Most Delicious Band", but what else?
On record, Nashville’s Worsties are peddling a surfy, punched-up garage rock, full of jerky guitars and questionable morals. Live, they’re something far more exciting. The energy goes up 200%, with lead singer Anna Worstell coming across like a hot sexualised version of Juliette Lewis, if you can imagine such a thing. --Diesel:U:Music
Are you drooling yet? You should be for the most delicious band in Nashville!
For those smart enough to hit up The End Friday night (April 25th, 2008) you are in for the sweet treat of a lifetime. The Worsties will be taking the stage at 9PM with the saucy minx Anna Worstell on vocals, Jesse “the worstie” Worstell on guitar and background vocals, and the strummer of my heart Jairo Ruiz on bass.
If you’re looking to quench your thirst for mean riffs, guitar licks, hip-swaying melodies, and one hot unpredictable performance this Nashville-based group will surely appeal to your insatiable punk rock palate. Add great catchy music and likable band members and The Worsties certainly have all the right elements to be great.--NashvilleEdge.com
THE WORSTIES EP RELEASE PARTY On their latest EP Put Your Babe On, local pop rockers The Worsties come full force, ripping through five tracks of mean riffs, surfy guitar licks, FM-ready melodies and layers of ball-busting female vocals. Highlights include “Tone Deaf,” which kicks things off with the kind of razor-sharp angst and polished punk attitude that would sound right at home on the Warped tour, and “Drop Your Panties and Roll,” a refined spin on raw garage-rock grooves. The Worsties unleash it into the world this Saturday with a release party at The 5 Spot featuring fellow power poppers Mean Tambourines and local slicked-up rock ’n’ roll purists Gone City. 9 p.m. at The 5 Spot —SETH GRAVES Nashville Scene
