On their forthcoming debut album, ‘Who Cares Anyway?’<\/em>, Essex quartet Don’t Worry<\/strong> take on the anxiety and uncertainty that young people in the late 2010’s face. From the opening moments of ‘The Barber’s Got No Answers,’<\/em> they set the tone of self-doubt – “I need to sort my life out.”<\/em><\/p>\n Stylistically, Don’t Worry<\/strong> take their cues from powerpop rock twerks of Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. Songs such as ‘Big House’,<\/em> ‘Yeah, Maybe’,<\/em> and ‘Who Cares (U Cares)’<\/em> come off brightly despite their downtrodden lyrical demeanour. Elsewhere, ‘Confetti’<\/em> is a stirring, angst-ridden release as they sing “I’m sick and tired!” Whereas ‘Yeah, Me’<\/em> wallows in reflective alt-rock, ‘Rafters’<\/em> is a cathartic slice of indie punk and the closing number, ‘This Time Next Year,’<\/em> has flashes of The Cure.<\/p>\n Overall main songwriters, Ronan and Sam have crafted a thoughtful collection of songs that captures the dilemma’s that early adulthood brings. Although Don’t Worry<\/strong> show plenty of personal observations on ‘Who Cares Anyway?’, their coming of age tales are also influenced from elsewhere.<\/p>\n Ahead of its release later this month, the band have picked out 10 of their favourite coming of age movies.<\/p>\n Sam: As soon as he throws the action figure tied on a string out the window of the bus I was like I\u2019m in. \u201cWhat are you gonna do today, Napoleon?\u201d \u201cWhatever I feel like, gosh!\u201d<\/p>\n Ronan: A bait one but I\u2019ve seen it hundreds of times and could probably recite the whole script. I used to fall asleep to it every night from like 2007 until 2012. \u201cMcLovin? What are you, an Irish RnB singer?\u201d<\/p>\n Dick: Quotes on quotes. Plus I always think back to sneaking into my sister’s room when she was out to watch it on her DVD player.<\/p>\n Sam: Joseph Gordon-Levitt tries to solve his girlfriend’s murder and just gets beaten up loads on the way. Bit of a dark one but very good. Dick, Ronan, and I watched this together hungover in the early days of the band.<\/p>\n Ronan: I reckon this counts as a coming of age movie. The placement of The Cure\u2019s ‘Six Different Ways’<\/em> really got me. We watched this at Cottage Road Cinema in Leeds whilst recording ‘Who Cares Anyway?’<\/em> A dude wearing a clown mask drove past the cinema really slowly as everyone was coming outside.<\/p>\n Dick: John Cusack is the best actor of all time. Plus the scene where he\u2019s listening to Fishbone on the boombox and they put Peter Gabriel over the top.<\/p>\n Sam: Count the Smiths lyrics pinched from this film. It\u2019s ridiculous. One of the best of British new wave cinema. Simultaneously bleak and joyous.<\/p>\n Ronan: A massively exaggerated tale of that rock n roll lifestyle that no longer exits and probably never really did in exactly that way. The songs they wrote for Stillwater are actually pretty good. This is also where I first heard ‘The Oogum Boogum Song’ by Brenton Wood, a song everyone needs to hear.<\/p>\n Dick: \u201cAngry girl music of the indie rock persuasion\u201d.<\/em> There needs to be a remake where Dan Aykroyd plays Kay and Bianca\u2019s father.<\/p>\n Sam: Probably in most people\u2019s lists but genuinely great. Richard Linklater is really good at nailing those high school archetypes. Slater is my favourite stoner. \u201cYou cool, man?\u201d \u201cLike, how?”<\/em><\/p>\nNapoleon Dynamite<\/h2>\n
