Today's Morning Edition music is from the Worriers with their new single "Future Me."
The band's leader, Lauren Denitzio, is also a writer and a visual artist. She says that until recently almost all punk bands like hers were fronted by straight men, but that is changing.
She told the Villiage Voice, "right now, going to any sort of punk-related show is phenomenal and world's more accepting and open than I could have imagined when I was growing up."
The Worriers will be performing Thursday at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis.
