Why Bother?  Who they sound like?  Sometimes they remind me of Syd Barrett (like on the last song on this album), but mostly they sound like Why Bother?  They just keep making music that always makes my day.  -- winch

 

Serenading Unwanted Ballads is the fifth album from Iowa's WHY BOTHER? and a testament to the fact that they will never make the same record twice. Full of twists, their unique approach to Midwestern synth punk becomes their own sound of Gothadelic, weirdo madness. Several of these tracks make their first vinyl appearance after surfacing on previous E.P.s and singles, while a newer mix of "Some Don't Dance" speaks to the unwavering creativity of the group. 

"Testify", recorded by friend (and contributing song writer) Aaron, while serving his life sentence at Anamosa State Prison, adds a layer of originality and bleakness to these unwanted ballads.

WHY BOTHER? have made yet another album by themselves, for themselves, and for anyone else willing to be serenaded by the doom of what awaits in the shadows. Feel It Records is proud to be the ONLY record label that can offer you such things.

No bow tie
Color: Burgundy, Size: XX-Large
Perfect fit for my son he's 6'2" about 220lbs. He ordered 2XL . I would've gave it 5 stars but he did not receive the bow tie, and his prom is tomorrow! Now I gotta go out snd spend more money buying the bow tie separately.

Sharp suit
Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small
The quality of the suit is very nice. The material feels thick and does not feel cheap at all. My son and I were both very pleased with this three piece suit altogether. We went off of size recommendation and due to personal preference we both agreed if we weren’t already in time crunch we would’ve sized up one size. Still managed to make it work and looked very sharp. He is 5’10” 150lbs - size ordered extra small
