Artist description Worm Quartet gives punk rock a titty-twister, gives electronica a massive wedgie, and drags both kicking and screaming into the world of screwed-up comedy. With hard-hitting songs about such important topics as deceased puppets, kitchen utensils, necrophilia, and bunnies, Worm Quartet has had its 4 or 5 fans scratching their heads in confusion for nearly 10 years. And lucky you, you've found us!

Press Reviews "The potential new king of Syracuse's subterranean noise scene...Shoebox is a quintessential fruitcake singing about the truly strange with all the high weirdness of a dadaistic experiment. Worm Quartet...masters taking the art of noise and skewering it to odd, humor-filled plateaus." - Syracuse New Times "Very very funny stuff from a bloke with a cheap keyboard and a slightly twisted sense of humour. Think Bloodhound Gang meets Kid With Man Head in a music lesson at a school which hasn't bought new instruments for ten years...Think Weird Al Yankovic swapping brains with Joey Ramone, but only being able to express himself in the cheesiest way he can think of." (5 out of 5 rating) - drownedinsound.com "For those of you REALLY in the East Cost Punk Rawk 'know', this...artist is in the vein of Atom and His Package, it's The Worm Quartet! Apparently this guy lives near me, is quite the Synth artist, and writes some damn funny songs. 'I Don't Give a Shit About Your (Website)' is a classic." - badassmofo.com "What a strange one - these people are definitely a sandwich short of a picnic - that is to say nowt in the attic - bizarre, poppy nonsense covering such diverse subjests as vampire penguins and biting William Shatner, veru odd!!!" - Troll e-zine "Dilbert does Digital Hardcore with a Casiotone. What makes this tolerable is Worm Quartet's hilarious, transitionless leaps in style from Barney-esque sing-alongs to electro-Gwar Death Metal." - listen.com "Thanks to modern technology, anyone can cut a track, turn it into an MP3, put it on the Net and wait to be 'discovered.' The Worm Quartet have decided to try and cut through the noise of thousands of other wannabes by targeting theirmusic to a distinct audience." - The Daily Aardvark "It seems that the Quartet has imagination pouring out of every orifice in their bodies. The entire disc grabs the listener’s attention, mostly because each consecutive song is awaited with anticipation of ‘what are they going to say next.'" - cnymusicandart.co
