Take a Worm for a Walk Week

This has to be one of my favourite band names, ever.

‘Take a Worm for a Walk Week’ may not sound as you imagine them to, they certainly didn’t for me!

Rather than jolly pop songs about spending dreamy afternoons taking your pet worm for a walk; it sounds more like thundering around on a triceratops during rush hour.

Obviously taking influence from maniacs Dillinger Escape Plan; crossbreeding rock and world music, adding some, erm, ‘unique’ vocals while maintaining some integrity is not an easy task. But hey, if you can pull off a name like ‘Take a Worm for a Walk Week’, then you can do anything!

Coming from Glasgow...uh-oh, I’ve done it again, another Scottish band!

Anyway, coming from Glasgow, these guys sound remarkably American (not taking into account a thick Scottish accent in the beginning of one of the tracks on the player), with, as I said, Dillinger Escape Plan and Protest the Hero as obvious influences.

Take note though, TAWFAWW aren’t as extreme speed-wise, so those without a penchant for slick machine-gun riffery may be slightly let down here...

So if you like your vocals abstract, your instruments unpredictable, and your names absolutely ridiculous, Take a Worm for a Walk Week are your band.
