BATTERY IN YOUR LEG: Introducing Trim the Barber



A big thanks to the BATTERY IN YOUR LEG blog for featuring us in their new bands section.
Read their post from 28th June here:


Here's what they said:

"I often feel guilty about not having enough hours in the day to spend listening to new artists. It’s not even a fear that I may miss the next big thing, more that a gem like these guys might pass me by. As with all my introducing posts, I have left it to the band to give you the low down in their own words:

‘Trim the Barber are London based psychedelic-post-punk-shoegazers. A haunting combination of the melancholic style of The Cure, the spiky post-punk snarl of Wire and the considered sonic attitude of My Bloody Valentine. Lush musical euphoria with a directness of delivery.
Formed from a sense of despair at the alienation and devolution of modern life, Trim the Barber’s music features conscious lyrical themes of despondency and frustration with an existence in a decaying post-Millennial Britain.

Since the free download release of ‘All We Can Be’, the band have been recording material for a forthcoming debut EP, set to be released this autumn and will be playing pre-release gigs towards the end of summer.
Having listened to several of the band’s tracks, I kind of concur with everything they have written above. A visit to the band’s Facebook page will lead you to ‘Free Falling’, a real standout track!"
