...worms never stop being ...worms, as proved by this immersive 24 minute, single-track live album from the Portland uncomfortable-core rock/art/noise/punk 4 piece. Active from 2005-2010, ...worms frightened and freaked out everyone fortunate/unfortunate enough to catch them live.
"Clearly, though, the lyrics take a backseat to the overall energy. The band, both live and recorded, is like some kind of brilliant seizure. Get really drunk and eat a whole bag of sugar and you'd probably be somewhere in the vicinity of what the band exerts in raw force. Seeing their singer wallow on the floor and cry out like a Velociraptor while his bandmates churn forth strangely beautiful dissonance may seem pretty crazy, and rightly so. But it's real. It's punk. It's theirs." Portland Mercury, 2006
