A Parisian band that mixed punk and metal with charged lyrics about authority.
If you want to get Trust, start with 'Antisocial' or 'Candy Walls'. Those songs capture their charged, anti-authority vibe perfectly.
Trust mattered because they brought a raw, rebellious sound to France in the late '70s and early '80s, with songs like 'Antisocial' becoming anthems that criticized social injustice. Their aggressive guitars and Bernie Bonvoisin's vocals resonated with listeners who were tired of the status quo, and their stance sometimes caused trouble at concerts. They took their name from an Iggy Pop song, which says a lot about their attitude.
They formed in Paris in 1977, releasing their first album in 1979. Records like 'Répression' in 1980 and 'Marche ou crève' in 1981 followed, with 'Trust IV' coming out in 1982. Their sound kept that punk-metal mix throughout, even as they recorded into the early '80s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
