Wrestler
of The Year! CD
Released June 2000
Recorded late 1999 and early 2000, this new CD represents the greatest work yet of the fearsome threesome. Wormbath pounded out 17 soon-to-be classics in their very own studio, in their very own way, with their very own equipment. Produced by Wormbath, Billy Kerchner and Brian Bricklin, this album is the best sound and best playing on a Wormbath record yet. We really made good use of the equipment we had and we took the time to make sure everything sounded right, instead of rushing through everything to get it all done.
We really would have like to have had this CD out WAY earlier, and it's still not on any labels, but I still think it will do quite well. I am writing this about one day before we actually get the actual CDs so we haven't sold any yet, but I have a good feeling about it.
I will add more reviews here as they come in. I myself think it's awesome.

"I smiled when I opened my mailbox and found a new Wormbth
CD waiting for me.
Wormbath was one of my favorite underground pop-punk bands of the
1995-97 "glory period". Its first CD (which was
basically a demo pressed onto a CD) and first single were both
KILLER pop-punk gems that have endured quite well in the years
since ("Always Rain" is one of the greatest pop-punk
songs EVER!). Had the band broken up, the world may have
forgotten its obscure treasures. But unlike many of their fellow
"Class of '95" pop-punkers, Wormbath was no
flash-in-the-pan. These kids from Pennsylvania stuck it out, and
they are STILL at it six years after forming! And they're still
making cool records that aren't generic, dull, or formulaic.
Bravo!
"Wrestler Of The Year" is the band's third CD, and it's
quite cool. These guys still dish out loud, energetic, spirited,
hard-edged pop that's a hell of a lot of fun! The songwriting is
still pretty damn solid, as this new offering unleashes a
consistent collection of ear-pleasing pop-punk tunes that rock
hard (Bands like Blink-182 can only WISH that they had Wormbath's
attitude and raw energy!). If you dig bands like Dirt Bike Annie
and The Klopecs, you should check out "Wrestler Of The
Year" in a hurry!"
Maximum Rock N' Roll Reviews:
"I like these guys. They know what i like, rock and roll and
wrestling. Plus they make fun of hard core posers! Songs about
girls and wrestling, man perfect combo here. Check these boys
out, they like to rock. I can't really say who they remind me of,
but that must be a good thing, because "don't want no
superman as a hero to me, heros are like mom and dad and Mr. Mick
Foley," is just a classic line. More bands should hop on
this wrestling appreciation thing. More songs about Mick Foley,
Mil Mascaras and Bret Hart, less songs about sticking it to the
man. WORMBATH, you have conquered my world. Viva La Lucha
Libre!" (added 9-27-00)
