    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

"Go!"
"Go!"
"Kill!"
"Kill it!"

Demon-like shrieks
Heads will roll tonight
Damned if you do
So keep your mouth shut or you’ll be next

Why can’t they accept me
Accept me!
Why can’t they abide and accept me
For what I am?

Behold the raging mob
With pitchfork, torch, and scythe
They see I’m not like them
Now I’m running for my life
Well I tried to be, I tried to be
But I couldn’t fake it
At my heals, the end is near
I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!"

"Go!"
"Kill!"
"Kill it!"

Rip, stab, and slash
Fresh blood coats the earth
If I keep still
Perhaps I’ll live to die another day

Why can’t I be different
Think different?
Why is mankind controlled by
Fear driven actions?

Behold the raging mob
With pitchfork, torch, and scythe
They see I’m not like them
Now I’m running for my life
Well I tried to be, I tried to be
But I couldn’t fake it
At my heals, the end is near
I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!"

"Go!"
"Kill!"
"Kill it!"

“Quick before the thing advances
We must take zero chances
If we don’t understand it
Destroy it!
Trembling down the path of least resistance
Just as we’ve done for most of our existence
We know not what we do
We’re frightened just like you
Ready or not, blind and dumb
Here we come!”

Behold the raging mob
With pitchfork, torch, and scythe
They see I’m not like them
Now I’m running for my life
Well I tried to be, I tried to be
But I couldn’t fake it
At my heals, the end is near
I hear them shout: “Kill the monster!"

"Go!"
"Kill!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill the monster!"
"Kill the monster!"
