Worm Trouble – The Poison Kitchen  (Slug Records 2000)

By Alex Teitz

            Worm Trouble is a band that translates images and emotions into a vibrant reality. Their sophomore CD, The Poison Kitchen, adds a range and depth that wasn’t able to be explored in their first release. Worm Trouble is a three piece band consisting of Michael Trenhaile on vocals and guitar, Kathryn Ellinger on bass and vocals, and Greg Johnson on drums.

            The Poison Kitchen contains many songs with bizarre themes couched in catchy lyrics and music. One example of this is “City of Sin” which tells of a Biblical city’s fall and ends on a surprisingly good note. “Riots” describes a chaotic scene of mayhem in clear lyrics and emotion. Both “Amsterdam” and “The Ladder” are slower ballads that still thrive on the reality of Worm Trouble’s sound. Pay careful attention to Ellinger’s intros on “Thunder Rises” and “Eye of the Damned” and Trenhaile’s guitar intro of “The Ladder.”

            Worm Trouble has found their place with The Poison Kitchen. It is not in alternative, goth, or rock but in a blend of all three that leave the listener craving more.
