Emerging from Florida’s coastline with a vibrant blend of alternative pop, grunge-infused energy, and fearless emotional honesty, Wormogenic is making a striking first impression with her debut single ‘Rip Off The Bandaid’.
Serving as the opening chapter of her forthcoming EP 'Bandaids', the track explores self-sabotage, anxiety, and the fear of happiness slipping away, wrapped in infectious hooks and a bold modern pop aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Chappell Roan, Caroline Polachek, and Girl in Red, Wormogenic is quickly establishing herself as a fresh and compelling new voice.
So with the new single out now, we sat down with her to find out more about her origins and what has been inspiring her most over the years.
