Wormburner
Wormburner is an indie rock band based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] Their music has been categorized as college rock.[2] The band has five members, and is led by Steve "Hank" Henry, who is the band's singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Henry graduated from Colgate University in 1993.[3] Their debut album, A Hero's Welcome, was released in 2006 and produced by David Lowery of Cracker.[4] The band wrote and recorded the album's 12 songs at Lowery's studio in Richmond, Virginia. These songs' power-pop sound, along with a series of live shows by the band, led to the band and album becoming increasingly popular.[5] The band released its second album, Placed by the Gideons, in 2010 on the label Wax Off, which is partly run by WSUM host DJ Renton.[6] In 2012, the band was interviewed for MTV's series 120 Minutes.[7] Their third album, Pleasant Living in Planned Communities, was released in September 2014.[8][9]
