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.
