TRASH BOAT – HEAVEN CAN WAIT – ALBUM REVIEW
In 2021, Trash Boat surprised many with the direction and quality of their third album, ‘Don’t You Feeling Amazing’. Gone were the nostalgic skater punk anthems and in were the darker, more ambitious modern rock ragers.
Now with their fourth studio effort, ‘Heaven Can Wait’, the band are doubling down on their ambition with another stunning collection of scream from the rooftop rockers. Wearing their influences on their sleeves the band have completed their shift from Sum 41 and Blink 182 pop punk to Linkin Park and Deftones alt-metal.
Perhaps what makes these songs so damn catchy though is the ultimate merger of those influences into an accessible but still interesting sound which should serve the band well as they continue their ascent.

Cooler riffs and catchier melodies jump out on the likes of ‘The Drip’ and ‘Break You’, as the group seemingly perfect their sonic identify. It’s also great to hear singer Tobi Duncan pushing himself on these tracks and the Chester Bennington channelling scream in ‘Are You Ready Now?’ is testament to his vocal power.
Lyrically the band also continue down an assured, serious path as they embrace their beliefs and unashamedly stand by their convictions. This really does sound like a band more comfortable than ever in their own skin and this album truly benefits from that confidence.
‘Heaven Can Wait’ may just be the album which pushes Trash Boat to that next level, it certainly deserves to be!
