Hello, we regret to inform you that you've missed out on this one time opportunity. It's never going to be. Is this how it's supposed to feel? You thought you'd be better by now, maybe this is all a bad dream?

You haven't been yourself in months, you break a cold sweat through your shirt. Get your affairs in order. Bite your tongue and don't cause a scene, you're probably fine.

You're not doing too well without your friends. You swore you'd never get like this, that you'd never be this way again. You don't know if you'll make it through.

Ok, cut.

You pack up your life on a Friday night, it's time for you to go home. Screw reality. You can do it, you can do it well.

Make It Through

We Regret To Inform You out NOW!

Trash Bangs first started in 2019 when roommates Kate Gallagher and Nick Royall began working on music inspired by their shared love of 80s new wave, 2000s pop punk, and contemporary synthpop. During the 2020 pandemic, the two exchanged demos between Nick's bedroom studio in Brooklyn and Kate's family home in New Jersey that eventually became their debut EP, "Teen Romance." Since then, the duo has continued to fuse their disparate styles into a unique sound that blurs the lines between pop, rock, and electronic music.
