Worm Bros Return!

Well after a 3 month break , anyway. So I thought I 'd try my hand at this blogging shit and if I'm lucky, Womag will lift this off the page and publish it without any compensation.
We dropped the "Live From Wormtown" moniker, opting to play anything that we think is cool, now, and hip, coming from Worcester, New England, and the world. Occasionaly, we willl still feature area bands when something important comes along. By no means does this mean we are abandoning the scene we've drawn from for the past 15 years, we just don't get out as much as we like to . We always tried to focus on local music especially Punk, Garage, and good ole' Rock n Roll. It just seems lately that our little scene has imploded on itself and we're just waitng for it to poke it's head up so we can pounch on it. Feel free to send anything you think would fit our tastes, and we'll do our best.
Some say Wormtown is, and should be dead. That it no longer serves as a proper moniker for such a city on the move that Worcester, Ma has become in the past few years. I say Bullshit! Wormtown never had anything to do with the city itself, but was just a flag to fly in the face of mediocrity. And besides, Worcester may be on the move , but it still trips itself up now and then. The airport brought back planes and only a few have been diverted to other locals due to fog. The big deveolpment due downtown to replace the Mall is dragging behind for some reason. Demolition was to commence in Oct 05, but she still stands today. They bulit a fine new Bus Terminal that has no busses, and are in the process of erecting a new hotel and courthouse which will have no parking facilitites, so you see, not all is perfect. And I like it when people get all upset about that little nickname. It's been around now for almost 30 years and shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon.
But what does that have to do with Music? Nothing . My point exactly. Add wdoa.com to you favorites, visit it often. It's one of the only places left where you'll hear the best in what our little corner of the world has to offer.
