Wormburner are narrative indie rock luminaries from Brooklyn via Hoboken. KEXP in Seattle calls Wormburner “anthemic indie rock with a punk rock kick”. Time Out New York cites “echoes of Springsteen, The Clash and The Pogues that ring out in succinct vignettes…twanging and swelling over vocalist Hank Henry’s forthright, reedy delivery”. According to The New Yorker, Hank “can sound like a cross between Michael Stipe and the Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle”. Wormburner regularly headlines beloved NYC rock clubs like The Bowery Ballroom and The Mercury Lounge. Tour dates have landed Wormburner as far from home as the West Coast, where KEXP in Seattle has twice honored Wormburner with Song of the Day accolades and has even hosted the band for live-in-the-studio performances. Wormburner has shared stages with Violent Femmes, The War on Drugs, Old 97s, The Walkmen, Deer Tick, Cracker, and Camper van Beethoven (David Lowery produced Wormburner’s debut album). Legendary VJ Matt Pinfield hosted Wormburner vocalist Hank Henry for an in-depth interview on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Wormburner’s most recent LP is titled “Pleasant Living in Planned Communities”, and it was included on Robert Christgau’s “Dean’s List” ranking the best releases of 2014. In 2016, Wormburner released an EP of new material and alternate studio takes from the vault. The band is finishing work on their fourth LP, and recently released an advance-single called “Restless Nation”. An anthem for pandemic times of social unrest, “Restless Nation" was spotlighted on WFUV in New York as part of the station’s NYSlice feature.
