Poor Me
United States
Poor Me is a five-piece rock band from Denver, CO. Our freshman release, “Readymade,” covered topics about self-improvement, the music scene, and maintaining our integrity within it. We were pretty 'angsty' at this juncture, and booking gigs was tough, but we liked what we were writing...
Our second record, a concept album titled 'Cosplay,' was a concept album about comic book heroism and tragedy; the lyrics and atmosphere aimed to assume the roles of notable characters from popular comics. The thing about super-people is that they're stories are most compelling when they are most human. We hoped to remind people that a hero can be anyone.
We are now supporting our newest release, 'Sugarcane,' to be released on August 14th. There will be a West Coast tour in support of it this summer.
This record is inspired by a proliferating feeling that the world is getting harder to navigate morally. Falsities are acceptable as warrants for our beliefs, social issues are diluted and polarized until they are palatable for the ill-informed, and confidence in ourselves is replacing the competence of collaboration. As we negotiate circumstances in our lives, we have a plethora of sources to turn to for direction. We can gut-check the moment, or we can turn to science, philosophy, religion, government, our families, etc. - each has its limits, its agendas, but increasingly, a satisfaction with conversion rather than persuasion. Watching the world turn this direction is frustrating, but not surprising... the carrot and stick has always been this effective on the masses.
