Biography

The Trenchies have never strayed from their ir·rev·er·ence. Finding stages across Chicago to express their youthful cynicism and connect with like-minded audiences keeps the band going. On March 10, they release their debut EP, ‘You Are Listening To’, where they bring their playful skepticism to you. Through jangly and slippery guitars, a loud and tight rhythm section that values groove, and vocals that aren’t pretty but certainly try to be, the band cultivates a unified sound that supports each other’s strengths and embraces each other’s faults. The upcoming EP will feature 6 songs that are synonymous with that Trenchies sound. Chicago Reader was given an exclusive first listen to the EP and said of the track Reunion Show, “the novelistic lyrics and bittersweet keyboards make it one of the most memorable songs so far this year”. Come March 10, The Trenchies hope you listen intently, but not too intently. In the words of the band - “blah blah blah blah”. thetrenchiesband@gmail.com
