New Jersey–born punk icon Peter Ventantonio, a.k.a. Jack Terricloth, passed away in May of last year. Well-known throughout the New Jersey and New York punk scenes and beyond, Terricloth led the hardcore group Sticks & Stones and fronted the cabaret-punk collective The World/Inferno Friendship Society. Over a year after his passing, a tribute album is arriving this month featuring covers by Jeff Rosenstock, Ted Leo, Bouncing Souls, Catbite, The Slackers, and more, and today we get to hear Worriers‘ take on Sticks & Stones’ “Grasping at Straws” from the compilation.
