Abrasive, confrontational, and uncomfortably sharp, ‘Feel Worse’ captured USA Nails at their most focused and punishing. Marking their first release for One Little Independent Records, the album channelled the band’s South London roots into a scathing response to life under late capitalism. Drawing on schadenfreude as its central theme, ‘Feel Worse’ dissected the quiet cruelty embedded in consumer culture, reality TV, authoritarian politics, and everyday social dynamics. The record did not offer release or escapism; instead, it forced listeners to sit inside the tension, mirroring the hostility and alienation it set out to critique.

Sonically, ‘Feel Worse’ sharpened USA Nails’ already ferocious blend of noise rock and post-hardcore into something leaner and more volatile. Jagged guitar lines, pummelling rhythms, and caustic vocal delivery collided in short, explosive bursts, maintaining constant pressure without excess. Tracks moved quickly but left bruises, balancing chaos with discipline and intent. The band’s raw energy felt weaponised here, every riff and shout aimed squarely at systems of power, exploitation, and spectacle. Unflinching and deliberately uncomfortable, ‘Feel Worse’ stood as USA Nails’ most vital statement to date — a record that didn’t seek to entertain, but to confront, provoke, and unsettle.
