Brooklyn-based act Worriers has been crushing it for close to a decade, and if newest single “Trust Your Gut” is any indication, they’re still in their prime songwriting years. Packed full of peppy indie rock energy, blasts of vintage synth bliss, and singer Lauren Denitzio’s words of encouragement, “Trust Your Gut” could appeal to fans of anywhere from Bruce Springsteen to Against Me!. Their delivery on “Trust Your Gut” is approachable and surprisingly upbeat, especially when you consider the political-punk nature of their earlier work. Sometimes it’s best to hear from the artist themselves – check out what Worriers has to say about the song/video below:
“The song is meant to celebrate learning to trust your intuition and advocate for yourself and your own time, even in the face of being told that everything is fine. I thought it would be a good match for the video to be an interpretation of Empire Records where we’re saving a queer bar instead of a record store – just a fun way to claim space and community and see yourself in something when outside forces are working against you. Queer interpretations are some of my favorite things to talk about, and I’ll never turn down a chance to incorporate queer joy into our work!”S
