Worried Well
You get to a point when its not about anything at all other than expressing yourself in the most honest and natural way possible. This is what seasoned songwriter Daniel James has accomplished with Worried Well. By scaling back the traditional rock instrumentation, James has made the focus of Worried Well rely solely upon the message and the tense feel of his melodic and often afflictive songwriting. James and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Cam Jones have turned their two-man band into a regional indie staple since forming in 2011. The duo has been developing a following and headlining club shows in their native New England, getting press recognition and favorable reviews including a nomination for “Best New Act” and “Best Rock-Pop Act” in The Portland Phoenix, as well as touring the northeast and performing with such acts as Murder By Death, mewithoutYou, the Hold Steady, and Gin Blossoms. A well received self-titled record was released in late 2011.
On "Great Appetite, Poor Taste," Worried Well's newest effort, weaves the unlikely themes of political commentary, religion, mental health and the mundane into short, rapid-fire and loud songs. Unlike the band's previous releases, this stripped down ten-track record is much more reflective of Worried Well's raucous and tense live performances. The band has signed with New Jersey label Mint 400 Records and they will be releasing their new LP on vinyl and CD as well as everywhere that MP3's are sold on September 7th 2015.
"The real light on this album is the lyrical spinnings of James. He sings songs that are relatable to millennials; they may not be universal, but they give a window into his life, and the life of his friends. They’re songs about the trials and tribulations of living in a city and country that doesn’t much care for us, so we care for ourselves and for each other in the ways that we best know how. That reason alone would be enough to give this album high marks; add in heartfelt delivery and a relatable message and you have an album worth your time." - Andrew Nelson | The Portland Phoenix
