TRMRS (pronounced “tremors”) are a young four-piece band from Costa Mesa, California, who make music in their own self-stylized genre “trash-pop.” If you’re wondering what “trash-pop” is then think of the basics of surf-rock, add a bit of scuzz, a sprinkling of psych, some feedback, crashing cymbals and rasping vocals and you’re more or less there.
Still can’t picture it? Maybe listening to their music over at their Bandcamp will help. That includes their LP Sea Things and the newly-released EP Tape: Side B, which is free to stream over there, or below, and yours to download for a mere $5.
TRMRS have come a long way since forming in early 2010, having shared the stage with the likes of Ty Segall, Tijuana Panthers, Shannon and the Clams, The Spits, Audacity, Reigning song and more. But they’re far from done touring. Dates of their current tour are below, and a video of their live performance (a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”), which as you can probably guess from their music, is a complete riot.
If you can’t catch them this time around, make sure you stay up to date with TRMRS by following them on Facebook and Twitter.
