History
Worried Well are an indie rock duo, consisting of Daniel James and Cam Jones from Portland, Maine that formed in 2011.[1][2] That year, they released the "acoustic-heavy" self-titled album Worried Well.[3] With "raucous and tense live performances" and playing with Murder By Death, mewithoutYou, the Hold Steady and Gin Blossoms led Worried Well to develop a following in the New England area.[4][5] They received nominations for Best New Act and Best Rock-Pop Act in The Portland Phoenix.[6][5] Their second album Luck was also released independently on 7 May 2013, considered by Emily Burnham of Bangor Daily News to be "smart" and "occasionally dour."[7][8]
Mint 400 Records
After signing with Mint 400 Records in 2015, Worried Well released Great Appetite, Poor Taste on vinyl, compact disc and digital download.[5] The album was recorded in Rumford and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and was produced by Dean Baltulonis.[5] The album content focuses on politics, religion and mental health.[5][3] An acoustic rendition of their song "Look at the Stars" appears on the compilation album In a Mellow Tone.
In 2015 Worried Well performed at Bull Moose Music's Record Store Day, and handed out acoustic five-song EPs specifically made for Record Store Day.[9]
