Thanks for filling your ear holes with us, ghoul gang. We had roughly 30% listener growth overall. Word is we were in 6 peoples Top 10s this year and we find that insane. Let’s keep the ball rolling. Here’s to 2025! 🪳⚰️☠️🖤 #wrapped

Would you want to read a comic about the Writhers?

I need to start posting on this app. The show has already passed but here’s a poster I made for my band @thewrithers.bsky.social and some old art pals’ band @qbombband.bsky.social in the style of 80’s hardcore punk show flyers. I love how it turned out. #punk #art #showflyer

Thursday @ambergir.bsky.social & I experienced that most magical of concert events: finding a new favorite band in one of the openers. @thewrithers.bsky.social sounded to me a little like early Oingo Boingo fronted by Jello Biafra. Definitely a band I’ll be seeing whenever they pass through.

We don’t usually celebrate our “bandiversary” until Dec 15th (the date of our first show back in ‘17) but today (11/24) marks 7 years since the first time we practiced as a band. 🖤

Hey, Bluesky, we’re the Writhers, a Horrorpunkabillydeathrocknroll band but most people just call us weird punks. Pick your favorite streaming platform—Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, whatever—and we’re there. #horror #punk #goth #rock #weird
