Why Bother?

Merging Midwestern punk, garage, and synthy post-punk, Why Bother? hail from Mason City, Iowa. They made their debut with the collection A Year of Mutations in the pandemic year of 2021. Putting out music at a fast clip, they were on their sixth album of angsty, impulsive synth punk by 2023's Calling All Goons. The racing, synth bass-piloted "Some Don't Dance [Post Modern Mix]" appeared in early 2024 ahead of their seventh LP, Serenading Unwanted Ballads. Signing with Cincinnati-based Feel It Records, Why Bother?'s Terry (vocals, synthesizer), Speck (guitar), Pamela (bass), and Paul (drums) established a tendency toward short blasts of disaffected, synth-injected punk with a quick series of basement-recorded albums that began with the October 2021 singles collection A Year of Mutations. Released just four months later, on Valentine's Day 2022, Lovers and Addicts was offered as a very limited cassette. After returning in September of 2022 with Lacerated Nights, their third full-length (coined an official debut by the band), they weren't done yet for the year: the 23-minute There Are Such Things appeared just a month later. It ended with a cover of the Who's "Whiskey Man." Still working with the same label, Why Bother? kicked off the new year with March 2023's A City of Unsolved Miseries, following it in October with the 13-track Calling All Goons, their longest album yet at 32 minutes. They kept the catharsis going with a seventh album, Serenading Unwanted Ballads, in March 2024. It included a handful of songs that been previously released on shorter formats.
