This is what you wanted, isn’t it?
To feel alone and get to cherish it?
It’s not as painless as you’d imagined it
But you tell yourself there’s no regrets
Stereo blasts while you lay on the pavement
Trace it back to the person that deserved
More of your attention then
Anybody else that you could attract
But it’s in the way that you react
To the way they say
“Please, just relax”
Sharp, smart lyrics set to ’60s rock melodies, the latest from Daily Worker is the sound of yesterday with a contemporary edge. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
This batch of quarantine recordings by Texas musician Daily Worker recalls the classic lo-fi days of GBV, with hissy sonics and huge hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2020
As an emo fan of a certain age (i.e. old), this album feels like such a gift because I can pretend it's the sequel to Brand New's "Deja Entendu" that we'll never get. Had this come out in 2003, like "The Room's Too Cold" or "War All The Time," we'd already be reading 20th anniversary oral histories about the making of this classic album (guess we'll just have to wait until 2040). A stunner, front to back. mattgraupman
