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
Drivin' through the TNT
With baby in the night
It was such a lovely evening
I did not expect a fright
He flew on down
The new thing in town
Scared me out of my wits
And my girl out of her pants
It was a bird
Creature
Something
In Point Pleasant 1966
He only appears
Before disaster, so they tell
Beating wings, Glowing eyes
Seen when Silver Bridge fell
The only ado
I saw it prior to
Was on the terrible day
He swept my baby away
That man-sized bird
Creature
Something
In Point Pleasant 1966
Nobody knows where he came from
Extra-terrestrial or experiment? You pick
Girls sure like them tall
And even more with a large wingspan!
Red eyes! Intrigue!
Danger!
If I’m honest
Can I blame her?
Mothman! Mothman!
That girlfriend stealing Mothman!
Mothman! Mothman!
That good-for-nothing-girlfriend-stealing Mothman!
This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
