30 June 2029
Band: TRÄŠHBAG
Who: Hefty Irish duo from Dublin (where everyone seems to in a band lately).
They spent time playing in numerous bands together or standing in for each
other in various bands. They produce a volatile blend of visceral punk rock
and post-punk.
Track: MY WHITE VAN
Debut single.
Press info: Recalling the provocative sounds of the Amphetamine Reptile bands of the 80’s and 90’s. The band say lyrics and vocals are an afterthought, “we are a drummer and a bass player at heart, what can you expect.” The lyrics add to the maniacal unhinged nature of the track, “Mama said don’t talk to strangers, don’t accept no free candy/Papa is warning me of all these creeps, but everyone is so friendly” is skin crawling creepy.
TUTV: WTF! All hands on deck. These two nice-looking guys aren’t that nice on record.
They smash, clash and trash with their white van. All hell breaks loose from the outset.
This noxious sledgehammer does your poor head in with non-stop industrial-punk slams.
Wham bloody wham bam! Throw some agitated vocals in the mix and
the volcanic eruption is complete. By far, best debut single of June.
“The white van is all powered by diesel, baby!”
