Almost two years after first contorting and rocking the San Diego punk scene, August 2019 delivered "Ghastly Reminders", the Writhers debut recording. "Ghastly Reminders" is a reflection on self-absorption, fear, seduction, and other terrors, all rolled up in one exciting, low-brow, rock and roll package. A frightening combination of punk, horror, rockabilly, and goth known as "horrorpunkabillydeathrocknroll" that's aimed to make you convulse. The EP is comprised of the first 4 songs ever performed by the Writhers plus an eerie intro that sets the grim yet entertaining mood.

lyrics
I can tell in one look
That you’re the type who likes it rough
Well I'm sort of into
All kinds of weird stuff
If you like a little pain
When you're making love
Well then honey I'm the one
That you've been dreamin' of
I like to leave marks
While we're alone in the dark
Oh, ghastly reminders
Of our time in the dark
I want to make you scream
I want to hear you gasp
Oh, I’ll make you believe
With the marks that I leave
Two little red dots (two little red dots)
In the side of your neck (in the side of your neck)
Oh, clawing my nails (clawing my nails)
Up and down your back (up and down your back)
Oh, squeezing your thighs (squeezing your thighs)
'Til they're black and blue (black and blue)
Gazing deep into your eyes (deep into your eyes)
As I share myself with you (myself with you)
I like to leave marks (I like to leave marks)
While we're alone in the dark (alone in the dark)
Oh, ghastly reminders (Ghastly reminders)
Of our time in the dark (our time in the dark)
Oh, I want to make you scream (Aah!)
I want to hear you gasp (Ooo!)
Oh, I’ll make you believe
With the marks that I leave
You’re gonna turn
You’re gonna turn
It won’t be long
Before you turn
You’re gonna turn
And then you’ll learn
That I’ll be gone
Two little red dots
In the side of your neck
Oh, clawing my nails
Up and down your back
Oh, squeezing your thighs
'Til they're black and blue
Gazing deep into your eyes, bleh bleh
As I share myself with you
I like to leave marks
While we're alone in the dark
Oh, ghastly reminders
Of our time in the dark
I want to make you scream, aah!
I want to hear you gasp
Oh, I’ll make you believe
With the marks that I leave
I like to leave marks
I like to leave marks
While we’re alone in the dark
Let me leave some marks
