Worry Club discuss debut album I'm Freaking Out in Riot Fest video interview
Chase Walsh breaks down writing and producing the record in Chicago, the dark humor behind the anxiety lyrics and why "Fade Away" mattered most.
Worry Club sat down for a video interview at Riot Fest 2026 in Chicago to talk through I'm Freaking Out, the project's debut album. The conversation centered on turning anxiety and self-doubt into catchy emo-pop songs.
Chase Walsh discussed writing and producing the record in Chicago, and how he balanced raw vulnerability against streaks of dark humor. He also explained why "Fade Away" became such an important song for the album, taking on an outsized role in shaping the record.
The interview also covered what it takes to bring deeply personal material to a large festival stage, where crowds may not know every lyric. Walsh touched on the visual world built around Worry Club and the community that has formed through shared experiences between the band and its listeners.
Making music that helps people feel a little less alone runs through the entire project. Walsh closed by looking ahead at what comes next for Worry Club following the debut album and its run of live dates.
The full video interview is available through the outlet that conducted it.
