Heartworms + Special Guests LIVE from The Cluny 2, Newcastle. 

When it came time for Jojo Orme, aka Heartworms, to name her hugely anticipated debut album, few phrases could as easily capture the discomforting feelings at the heart of her songs. Across Glutton For Punishment’s nine sharply realised agit-pop tracks, Orme sings about broken families and broken relationships with bracing frankness – every song shot through with the unnerving feeling that maybe she
enjoys the chaos. “We’re all so drawn to punishing ourselves, and I’m always drawn to singing about it, and thinking about it,” she says.

The follow-up to her acclaimed 2023 EP A Comforting Notion, Glutton For Punishment reveals Orme as a talented stylist and cutting lyricist, the 26-year-old musician deftly weaving stories about her childhood and her fractured relationship with her mother with the images of war and human suffering that have captivated and shocked her since she was young. The end result is a life affirming exercise, an
opportunity to expel her own self and passions; which include military history (she regularly volunteers at The Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon) and the poetry of Pound, Thomas, and Keats.
