Better Now

"Driven by excitable, exhaustive riffs, Fort Worth's Better Now fittingly thrives more in the present than its nostalgic punk bent would suggest. Even the tracks stuffing Words and Wires and Reasons I Can't Sleep, two EPs speedily recorded in 2016, crinkle and burst with sentimental value and retrospective honesty, confessions and memories shouted over slamming backdrops. Whether dismantled acoustic (as on the band's third offering, Funky Town Sessions) or pushed to gritty extremes, this Texan four-piece brims with energetic wonder and an immediate rush into a passionate headspace–for now, anyway."
