Praise for TWIABP:
“In just four songs, The World is a Beautiful Place and I Am
No Longer Afraid to Die capture what it is to be in a band. They capture what
it is to just create music for the sake of creation.”- -AbsolutePunk (On
Formlessness)
“In ‘Formlessness’ The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am
No Longer Afraid To Die have created one of the most gorgeously beautiful EPs
in recent memory.'”- -Sputnik Music
About TWIABP:
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer
Afraid to Die speak to a universal experience: of home, of suburbia,
of community, of nostalgia for a time not so long ago after all. Atmospheric
and breathy, emotionally raw and heavy, The World Is’ reputation as one of
today’s seminal “second-waver“ emo bands precedes them.
The World Is experience is a rich one. This is in part due
to the varied history of the six people in the band, a Connecticut-bred lineup
finalized as recently as 2011 despite their 2009 formation. Greg Horbal (also
an agent with Hope This Helps Booking), Chris Teti (also an
engineer at Connecticut’s Silver Bullet Studios) and Steven K. Buttery
(also in the band Ferocious Fucking Teeth, runs a screenprinting operation
of his own) were all formerly in a similarly significant Connecticut band, My
Heart to Joy. Shanholtzer is a working visual artist, has operated a
popular Connecticut house venue (The Handsome Woman) for years as well as
contributed to bands like One Hundred Year Ocean, SOFX and I’m
ok (as has bassist Josh Cyr). Thomas Diaz (vocals, keys) has also released solo
work under the name Sinforiano Diaz.
