TRASH BOAT – EVEN IF I NEVER GET THERE’ – EP REVIEW
Despite being critically heralded (including by us), to say that Trash Boat’s past two records have been met by a mixed reception amongst fans would probably qualify as an understatement. Whilst many have loved their experimentation and joined them on their evolution, many met their alt rock showpieces with one big shrug.
Having broken through with a brash pop punk edge, some were disappointed when they ambitiously reached for something sonically grander. This lacklustre response coupled with cancelled tours gave the band a bit of a beating but thankfully their resilience has shone though as they return now with new four track EP, ‘Even If I Never Get There’.
Kicking off with fantastic single, ‘Get By Or Die’ fans of all eras of Trash Boat will be able to unite behind what is a superbly blended sound with the freedom of their early work mixing stirringly with the intensity of their recent outputs.
This is of course only a short sharp snapshot of where the band currently find themselves, but this feels very much like a fabled reset moment. The past is honoured, the present is strong and excitement can build again for the future!
