TheWorst is a three-piece rock band from Portland, Maine. Tapping into post-teen angst with threads of third-wave feminism, the shreddy power anthems that comprise the TheWorst's debut album are a jolt of brutal honesty and unadulterated emotion, fueled by a massive wall of distorted sound that throws back to Dinosaur Jr., L7, Mudhoney and even Nirvana. The band is led by front-woman and songwriter/lyricist Brooke Binion, and their sound is rounded out by drummer Benbazi, formerly of Boombazi and the LA recording artist Beatnik JR, and bassist Will Bradford, leader of the anti-genre indie rock pranksters SeepeopleS. The sound these two seasoned veterans create is powerful, engaging and decidedly different, something scarce in today's modern rock scene.
For Jane Doe Embryo, theWorst's debut album, the band enlisted the help of producer Will Holland, best known for his work with the Pixies, Dead Can Dance, and Fall Out Boy. The album was recorded at the legendary Chillhouse Studios in Boston MA and received wide critical acclaim.

The album is slated for a fall 2020 release date (RascalZRecordZ).
