"Even Worse, a name indicative of punk's tendency towards self-deprecation. While the standard rock & pop artists were all too busy cultivating an image of being too cool and glamorous, a whole army of malcontent groups were busy screaming 'I'm fucked up and the world is too'. Formed by raw, gut-level music fanaticsm EW's goal, like many others at the time, was to bring back the idea of music as a means towards real spontaneous excitement, rather than a planned, non-interactive event of uneventful malaise... a much-needed kick in the groin to a stale music hierarchy."

"To punk aficionados of a certain age, the name Even Worse conjures memories of a time when New York punk was forced underground by a mainstream media that overexposed its every twitch until it became the 70's version of Haight Ashbury. After labels lured the big names away with corporate booty in extremis, New York's scene distilled into a volatile melange of reconstituted punk glory...
This is raw, ragged and gloriously cheap music played with the emotional volume of the Stooges and Pistols and the chaotic speed of roofing nails in a blender. Even Worse front woman R.B. Korbet was one of the few true female punks... this is the real New York rock."
