itoldyouiwouldeatyou

itoldyouiwouldeatyou (stylized in lowercase) is a British math-rock/emo project fronted by vocalist and guitarist Joey Ashworth, known for blending frenetic guitar work, confessional lyrics, and genre-hopping experimentation. Emerging from Brighton's DIY scene in the late 2010s, the band gained attention for tackling themes like mental health, queer identity, and political disillusionment through raw, emotionally charged tracks like "Oh Dearism" and "Get Terrified." Their 2019 album *Oh Dearism* solidified their reputation for combining twinkling Midwest-emo influences with post-hardcore intensity and spoken-word vulnerability.

With releases like "Moscow is Silent" and "Divine Violence," they've continued to evolve their sound while maintaining a strong DIY ethos, often self-recording and collaborating within the UK's underground punk communities. Known for Ashworth's candid lyricism and they/them pronouns advocacy, itoldyouiwouldeatyou remains a resonant voice for listeners navigating anxiety, identity, and systemic frustrations through cathartic, riff-driven storytelling.
