Panic attacks at a Waffle House
Somewhere in Oklahoma
Nostalgia here at last
I tried my best to quit smoking
I guess it’s just not the right time
It’s never quite the time
Please calm me down
I want to hear you say it out loud
“I love you, but not right now”
Please make this allowed
Come take a seat
You’re all I need
Be just like me
A friend that needs
A friend that needs to feed
Made of porcelain and gasoline
Pour the gasoline
Please pour the gasoline
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
