Five Fun Facts with The Trusted
The Trusted
“Our music is all about feeling; everything we write means something to us, whether it comes from a happy place or a sad place inside of us.”
We are back with yet another round of fun facts for ya!
Today we are featuring the indie-pop band The Trusted. They are Dave Batchelor, Dale Holt-Mead, Fin Cunningham and Tom Cunningham. These four dudes hail from the UK and have been making music together since meeting in secondary school. Their music is a perfect mix of the artists that inspire them, one can say their sound is a blend of 21st century Brit-rock and classic late '70s new-wave. You know, like Catfish and the Bottlemen and Elvis Costello, just to name a few.
"We want people to 'feel' our songs. When they listen to them online or come to a gig, they can see and hear that it's all about emotion, energy, and soul!"
That's just what happens when you listen to them. You can feel the emotion thanks to the band's post-punk energy and storytelling.
"For us, if it sounds and feels good, we follow it."
And they sure have been doing great so far. Following the release of the acclaimed "Wild Love," the band's latest track, "The Innocent," has generated quite a buzz. You can listen to it below.
We don't see these guys going anywhere but up, and we are so happy we've discovered them when we did. We can't wait to hear what else they release how they'll continue to evolve their sound. We fully trust that they know what they're doing.
If you'd like to know a little more about them, we suggest you read these facts they kindly shared with us.
Three of us went to the same school.
We all have pre-gig rituals: Fin likes to explore, Tom paces the room, Dave has a few drinks, and Dale has a cigarette
We almost called ourselves '3:13'; however, we quickly changed our minds after discovering that there were several other bands with the same name. It would have been cool though, number-based band names are cool.
Our bass player Fin is also a Grade 8 pianist.
Tom and Dale both first played together when they were 12/13 years old due to Dale joining Tom's first band as a bass player. However, he was kicked out after a few weeks because, at the time, he couldn't play it!
