Mosh pits and human sacrifice, is there a better combination? New from the Writhers comes “Pit
Dunce”, a song that will have you dancing or else! “Pit Dunce” is the 4th in a line of singles that
everybody’s favorite pink, Horrorpunkabillyrocknroll ghouls have been steadily dropping since
2021. This track was inspired by a live show gag created in Fall 2021 in which the band ask for
a participate from the audience, ideally one that hasn’t been dancing, to wear the aptly named
“pit dunce cap” and stand in the middle of the floor in front of the stage as the rest of the crowd
is instructed to mosh around them “to please the gods above”. This song mixes zany antics with
Horror themed Doo-wop (or Boo-wop!) and fast-paced, Hardcore Punk for a slamming good
time! “MOSH OR PAY THE PRICE!”
WHO ARE THE WRITHERS?
Praised for their dark, cohesive aesthetic and energized, attention-grabbing stage presence, this
bizarre San Diego based outfit smash together Horrorpunk, Psychobilly, Death Rock, and
Garage Punk into a tantalizing mess! Formed in November of 2017.
The Writhers are:
Robert Writhe - Vocals/Accordion
Rikk R Treat - Drums
Chewy Morsel - Guitar
Kenny Wolfsbane - Bass
