"Extremely thoughtful, impeccably arranged punk
songs" -NPR
"An uplifting, cathartic album, but goes a step
further: Survival Pop makes surviving sound like thriving."
-AV Club
"An anthemic collection of songs to buoy hopes and
spirits with the promise of progress." -Bandcamp
6131 Records is excited to announce they have signed Lauren
Denitzio's powerful melodic punk band Worriers. The label re-released Worrier's
most recent album, Survival Pop, digitally today. The album will also be
released on vinyl and CD, pre-orders are available now. Originally released in 2017
on Side One Dummy and now out-of-print, the highly praised record will again be
available, this time as an expanded edition, featuring additional songs: the
previously unreleased "The Saddest Little Waffle House in Eastern
Pennsylvania” and a newly mixed/mastered version of “No More Bad News” which
previously appeared on a split with Kevin Devine earlier this year.
Lauren Denitzio of Worriers had this to say about new song
"The Saddest Little Waffle House in Eastern
Pennsylvania:”
"I wrote this song when I was on a solo tour, spending
a lot of time alone in my car that was literally on its last legs, and I was
really grasping at straws to find the bright side of my surroundings. We always
go to Waffle House on tour but it’s a much different experience when you’re
there by yourself with your own thoughts and you’re the one that stands
out."
6131 Records owner Joey Cahill had this to say about today’s
announcement:
"Having been longtime fans of Worriers and Lauren
Denitzio’s music, and especially loving the musical progression they exhibited
on Survival Pop, we jumped at the chance to re-release this phenomenal album.
Worriers being a part of the 6131 Records family feels like such an honor and we’re
excited to see what the future holds as well."
Worriers have previously released highly acclaimed records
with Don Giovanni, No Idea and Yo-Yo Records. The newly LA-based band has
toured with Against Me!, John K Samson & The Winter Wheat, Julien Baker,
The Wonder Years, Camp Cope, Jeff Rosenstock and more. Worriers' debut
full-length Imaginary Life was produced by Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! and
was released on Don Giovanni Records in 2015.
Worriers are on tour in the UK
and Europe with Anti-Flag, Silverstein, and
Cancer Bats now. A full list of dates can be found below.
