What people are saying...
"The band's self-titled "Trenchtown EP," released July 9, represents a"rebirth" of the group comprising Michigan natives Ryan Wagler (vocals), Eric Wagler (bass), Greg Bolenbaugh (lead guitar), Mike Nichols (rhythm guitar) and Mike Burlett (drums)." - Sascha Bush - The Beach Reporter
"If you're a fan of old Unwritten Law mixed with a hint of ska punk influences, then you'll love Trenchtown. These guys hail from Hermosa Beach, the same city as punk pioneers Pennywise, and could be described as the lovechild of Green Day and Sublime. Having been a part of the Warped Tour two years in a row, the band has made a name for themselves and recently released a new self titled album, Trenchtown EP. " - Christy Buena - Disarray Magazine
"Trenchtown deserve the full CD treatment and it would be great to see these guys on the Warped Tour. Judging from the EP, they'll be a mainstage act in no time." - Dan Savoie - Rockstar Weekly
"...this self titled EP is a great little intro to the band for new fans. With leading track ‘Ay Oh' certainly initiating the party vibe, the six songs move through a range of pace and tones; ‘Murderer' shifting between slow groovy chorus and faster paces verses, hook filled and ironically upbeat ‘Unpaid Holiday' and poppier but catchy ‘Let It Go' all add some diversity to the bands output. Moving forward it will be interesting to see what the guys can produce but there are some healthy indicators based on this EP already." - Steve Bailey - Distorted Magazine
"Trenchtown is an interesting beast. I recently had the chance to sit down and savor their new album the Trenchtown EP. Bred out of Hermosa Beach, they wear their influences on their sleeve. I was greeted with a high energy mix of LA punk and ska that was bit Greenday, a bit Rancid, a bit Sublime and all fun." - Angelo Lorenzo - The Deli - Los Angeles
"There should be an ‘Advisory Warning' sticker on the self-titled EP from Trenchtown informing all music elitists out there to put your egos in your back pocket and enjoy... makes you remember punk rock before it became a Broadway play." - Aldo Singer - Independent Media Magazine
"Unpaid Holiday" is as bittersweet as they come, mixing a cheery melody with lyrics insisting that "We'll waste away." Frankly, that's fine with me — as long as I'm wasting away listening to this album. - Madison VanderMeer - Real Detroit Weekly
"Trenchtown Take Punk And Reggae To New Levels" - April Savoie - Rockstar Weekly
"The band we are talking about is Trenchtown and they mix punk, rock, reggae, and dub in a way that is addictive." - Mike Friedman - Skope Magazine
"Longtime Hermosa Beach post- punk band Trenchtown plays an acoustic set tomorrow from 4 to 6 p.m. and then from 6 to 8 p.m. they're throwing a release party for their new CD. It all takes place at The Lighthouse Café, 30 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach. " - Mark McDermott - Easy Reader News
