Possibly even bigger news than the 2022 revival of 90s-era Chicago band Sludgeworth was that they’ve get a new EP, Together Not Together in the works. Now the band has delivered the title track and video from that release, which releases this Friday, 17 May 2024, via Red Scare Industries.
The title refers to our band. We haven’t released anything new in 32 years, then there’s also a physical distance between us. I think when you haven’t played together in that long, you can return anew. The inspiration for this album can be summed up in one word: Enthusiasm. It was there for all of us. Originally I thought the idea of new music was a terrible idea. But then the guys sent me the music they were kicking around, and words and a melody immediately popped into my head. Those few seconds changed everything. After 32 years since our last recording, I can honestly say I couldn’t be more excited about this release.
