to know Worth Taking below!

How did Worth Taking form and come to be what it is today?
I started the band as a solo project in 2011 and put out an EP.
I formed a band when I moved to San Francisco that same year and have been
touring and growing as a band ever since.

Who are some of your musical influences – both as a band and
individually?

As a band, it would definitely be Jimmy Eat World, blink-182,
and New Found Glory. Chris is into Social Distortion and U2. Chase loves
Incubus and the Foo Fighters. I’m just a really big Taylor Swift fan.

What do you enjoy most about playing shows?
We get to create
something special every night while traveling the world with our best friends.
What’s not to love?

What
do you do when you’re not playing music?

Chris runs the trails of Marin, Chase
is a licensed Civil Engineer specializing in fine architecture and building
structures, and I produce and master music.
