Hailing from Long Island, NY, Somerset Thrower was founded by four friends who share a love of all things rock and roll. Built on punk and hardcore roots, the four-piece blends raw energy with melody-soaked textures to create something both urgent and timeless.
Produced and mixed by Jon Markson at Animal Farm Studios (NJ), Take Only What You Need to Survive captures Somerset Thrower at their most dynamic—equal parts cathartic and anthemic, with soaring guitars, driving rhythms, and unshakable hooks. It’s the sound of a band making music purely for the love of it. Influences pull from Jimmy Eat World, Garden Variety, and Seaweed, which translate to a natural nostalgic feel throughout the album’s songs while still giving a modern sound.
The record serves at Somerset Thrower’s fourth overall release, having debuted in 2015 with the Falling Swingers EP and following 2020’s well received Paint My Memory LP. Throughout Somerset Thrower’s ten-year tenure, the band has shared the stage with Rival Schools, Taking Back Sunday, Supercrush, Glassjaw, Drug Church, The Movielife, Iron Chic, Taking Meds, and more.
Take Only What You Need to Survive is Somerset Thrower at their best: driving, dynamic, and honest.
