The Itchyworms' upcoming studio album, Waiting For The End To Start, was conceptualized and recorded by members of the band within the safe comforts of their respective homes during the implementation of various community quarantine measures across different parts of the country due to the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematically, the songs are written as a reflection of the band members' individual and collective experiences during the quarantine period. It also inhabits a more adventurous and relentless approach in terms of production and songwriting resulting into captivating end results that self-isolated music lovers would surely love.
Itchyworms' lead guitarist and back-up vocalist Chino Singson shared, "Like any collection of music, it is a record of its time: a snapshot of the artist's creation to his or her circumstances. But it's our concept album in that our aim was to create art in the midst of the pandemic, to capture our emotions in the music we record even with the limited recording gear we have at home. So you'll hear amp buzz and imperfect vocals, but for me that's part of the spirit of true rock." Anyway, the virtual launch party for The Itchyworms' Waiting For The End To Start album is presented by Sony Music Philippines, GNN Entertainment, and Linya-Linya.
