Worse for Wear

Worse For Wear are an Australian punk rock trio, embodying a DIY attitude with heart-on-their-sleeves lyrics, energetic refrains and nostalgic riffs.

Releasing their debut EP ‘Empty Eyes’ in 2014, they immediately hit the east coast of Australia, touring with Drawcard, Nerdlinger & Concrete Surfers. Subsequent US college radio play saw Worse For Wear reach LA for a promotional run and showcase at the famed Whisky a Go Go.

2016 would see the band perform their debut headliner in Brisbane. A SOLD-OUT performance at their infamous ‘Seasick’ festival, an annual rock music event at sea, showcasing the best in QLD punk & rock. Throughout 2017, more opportunities arose, seeing them play with Trash Boat (US), The Hard Aches & Windwaker.

This year the band is focusing on their craft, having headed into the studio with Nick Wilkinson (We Set Signals) to record their debut LP. With nods to genre stalwarts Crime In Stereo & Hot Water Music, the album blends nostalgic riffs with stanzas and melodies tackling modern punk rock in the vein of The Story So Far, Lifetime & Basement.
