Old Trash formed in the late 2000s around childhood friends Sam Bennett and James Martell, later adding drummer Max Jacobs and bassist Alex Green. They put out an EP called 'Another' in 2012, which included a track that caught some attention. Over the next decade, they released albums like 'Drown in Gold' in 2014, 'The Ghost of You' in 2017, and 'Recovery' in 2021.
Their songs, such as 'I Will Try' and 'Weird Awkward', often lean into raw, introspective lyrics. The music pulls from post-punk and grunge, with arrangements that can feel stark and melodies that drift toward the haunting side. In 2016, Sam Bennett's issues with addiction led to a short break for the band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
