Best of 2017 #2: Woolworm - Deserve to Die (Mint)

One of the greatest joys of working in campus radio is following a band from their obscure beginnings, recording independently, and seeing them blossom into a full-fledged band with a focused sound. I got this experience with Vancouver's Woolworm, who I discovered in 2012 with their EP Everything Seems Obvious on the Hockey Dad label. Admittedly, they'd been around since 2009 by that time. I knew if they kept at it, they'd go from a great band to a fantastic band. Deserve to Die took them into the elite of Canadian college radio and got them some looks in the US and Europe too. Deserve to Die was their first album for the prestigious Mint record label, home to some of the best indy bands in Western Canada. Go see them live, I've seen them three times so far. Excellent merge of post punk with melodic indy rock.
