Band: Worldview
From: Springfield, Illinois
Their formation story:
(Lexi, vocals): "Drew, Sully, and I were working together booking shows in Peoria and Springfield for a while and we just wanted to do a band. Liam was initially in it and helped write most bass parts. He was too busy, so we hit up Teagan and they told us that they already knew the songs, which was funny because we had no recordings out and only played a couple shows."
Their sound in their own words:
(Drew, guitar): "We just play fast hardcore in the vein of Boston hardcore and Youth Crew. Stuff like No Tolerance, Civilized, SS Decontrol, etc."
Latest release info:
(Drew): "It’s our first release/demo. Just some fun and fast songs between friends. It’s on our friend Chance’s label, RTR Tapes. Really excited to be part of that label, he’s been putting out a bunch of great bands lately from kind of all over. Artwork by our friend Maddie Spall. Just glad to have it out there and for anyone to give it a listen."
Future plans:
(Drew): "We’re mostly just playing local shows and slowly workin on new material. Going to get out there more soon though. Want to play all around the midwest ASAP."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
(Lexi): "Everybody Takes One (ETO) from the Twin Cities, Velocity from Bloomington, Indiana, Innervision from Springfield. Illinois, Bootcamp from Iowa City, Home Invasion from Chicago Il."
Worldview demo on cassette coming soon via RTR Tapes.
