Worriedaboutsatan (stylized as worriedaboutsatan) are an electronic band who originated in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The band was formed by Gavin Miller and Tom Ragsdale in 2005 as a fusion of glitch, techno, electronica, rock and metal.
The band comprises Gavin Miller and Tom Ragsdale, who met whilst both attending Leeds College of Music in 2005. Worriedaboutsatan began as a side project, but later became the joint focus of Miller and Ragsdale.
The band's mixture of rock and electronic genres can be attributed to Miller and Ragsdale's musical influences, which give equal importance to post-rock bands such as Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai as well as electronic dance music artists, such as Underworld. Worriedaboutsatan's sound, in reflection of their musical tastes, is in their own words, an attempt 'to fuse elements of everything we listen to – glitch, techno, electronica, rock [and] metal'.
Worriedaboutsatan's music has appeared on several BBC Radio shows, including Steve Lamacq's show on BBC 6 Music and Tom Robinson's Introducing and Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental Show, both on BBC Radio 1. Since 23 July 2008, their music has also been featured in episodes of the British soap opera, Coronation Street.
In 2011, the duo launched a new project, Ghosting Season, and put worriedaboutsatan on hold. In 2014, they released the single 'I'm Not / The Next Round'.
The band has so far released two albums, one remix album, two EPs and two singles. The first EP, self-titled but known as EP1, was released in 2006 and is now out of print. It is currently available online. The single, "An Infinity of Oncoming Lights" was released in 2006, and is also available on Last.fm.
