Catalog Number: IMP43 Color: Orange Format: LP UPC: 0724022496688 Surf Trash, who hail from Lake Macquarie and live in Newcastle, NSW, make melodic surf-pop-punk that sounds great turned up loud, driving in your mates car on the way back to the beach. They landed a lot of attention when they first broke out as teenagers in 2018, but they've bided their time and are now ready to release their debut album, exclusively on Impressed. Co-produced by Jack Nigro (The Terrys, Pacific Avenue, Rum Jungle) it's filled with hooks, melodies, huge guitar solos and singalong choruses. They've just completed their second US tour (not bad AT ALL for an independent Australian band with no traditional label or management company) as well as finishing this album which we've been singing along to in our car on the way to work for a while. The album includes the singles 'Spice It Up', 'Hello Again' and 'Healin The Feelin' which have been attracting lots of triplej - and US - attention. "It's not a record that sees them 'growing up' (they still maintain that youthful energy, that sense of fun, and the same sort of urgency that accompanied their earliest work), rather it's an album which triumphantly carves their name into the wall of Aussie music. It's a record which says, "We're Surf Trash, and we matter."" Tyler Jenke
