Alternative New Music indie rock
Worse in Person is a four-piece indie-rock band from Seattle, WA. In 2019 Rian Rustvold (vocals, guitar) teamed up with college roommate Hunter Gabriele (drums), and Michelle Tanco (bass) to try their hands at an indie rock project. Early in 2020 the band began playing around their hometown of Seattle, and added Sean Matson (guitar) to the combo.
Worse in Person's sound takes influence from 90s grunge and alternative (Nirvana, Beck, Radiohead), 00s indie rock (Weezer, Mother Mother), along with modern influences such as FIDLAR, Car Seat Headrest, and The Beths.
The band's latest release, "Bad Spirits / Tall Trees", is an entirely DIY production that represents the band's creative efforts from the past two years. Throughout that time, the band members have experienced moves, marriages, births, and deaths. The album is a product of all that change.
