theWorst:

Hailed by Alternative Press as the "...glorious love child of Joan Jett & Kurt Cobain," theWorst has been on a meteoric rise since their inception.  Led by bandleader and true survivor, Brooke Binion, the band has gained a reputation as a one-of-a-kind raucous live act, fueled by an aggressive raw sound, anthemic songs and a brutally honest lyricism that is rare in today's highly commercial and often fabricated mainstream music scene.  Having toured nationwide and coast to coast since 2016, theWorst is composed of Binion on lead vocals and guitar, Will Bradford (SeepeopleS) on bass and Craig Sala (Paranoid Social Club, Kurt Baker, Planeside) on drums.

"Saw Slane - U2 Tribute Band last weekend in Portland and my expectations were met 10 fold. Some tribute bands rely on optics to celebrate an artist, which to me is an easy way out, but Slane’s recreation of the unmistakable sound of U2 was mind blowing. Close your eyes and listen and I’d be skeptical to anyone who could tell the difference. Go see and more importantly LISTEN to this band!"
