So what is Sun Trash? Well, let me try and shed some light... About a year and a half ago my other band, Throw Rag, slowed way down. So I took that time to start recording songs with some new friends that I'd met while touring. The first song I recorded was with J.Devil of Eagles of Death Metal and his mom in his apartment in Palm Desert, it was a tune called "White Cowboy Boots" that I'd wrote in Canada while on tour with Queens of the Stone Age. I kept calling people up to jam and now I've got a couple albums worth of material… all the guys from QOTSA, EODM, a couple of The Bronx, Zander Schloss from the Circle Jerks/Die Hunns, Sasha of the Mad Caddies, Petra Hayden, Eddie Nappi of Enemy, Mark Lanegan, Chris Goss and then some. The tunes are all over the place and were usually written on the spot. I've got lyrics with me, we hit record and jam, it's music for the love of music, not too thought out and free of obligation, just fun. It's been a privilege to create with all these guys and like my man Robin from RATT said "rock n' roll ain't the Olympics, there's room in it for everyone" well, in Sun Trash's case it may be closer to the Special Olympics, but that's fine, we do it cause we love to.

From deepest darkest parts unknown, the land of chorizo and chupacabras. Los mysteriosos are on a musical assault of el norte!! Playing for citizenship and beer. Spinning epic tales of lost love and bullfighting, these matadors of sound are unlike anything you’ve heard before. Streaming machismo, they’re a visual fiesta of flamenco moves and pinata bashing. Then at other points of the night, they can play as sweetly as the lime in your cerveza . Every live show is different. You can never know what to expect. I’m not sure that they do either. All of this adds to the mystery and the passion of the music. How can you describe what cannot be described? Sometimes it best not even to try. Salud!

We are a live 80's karaoke band. You are Adam, we are the Ants, You are Siouxie, we are the Banshees, you are Madonna, we will touch you for the very first time.

With every sold out show and thousands of fans, the word "understatement" is completely appropriate when describing the effect 00Soul has on the indie-music scene. They are a standout in a sea of Pop, Rock and Alternative Acts. With a notorious reputation for the seedy side of life, it’s no wonder the Long Beach music scene has embraced this band and made their shows something special for those lucky enough to catch them performing live. 00Soul get their funk out with a hypnotically solid beat, tasty bass to back it up and a "whole lotta" horn work. Tracks list "Squad Car" aren’t short on it’s cinematic value. This song plays like a movie, complete with sound effects, campy 70’s dialogue and more grunts and groans than Shaft. Their rich blend of jazz, rock and Afro-Cuban rhythms will make a permanent dent in what you use to call "Funk".

Asbury Park, NJ is Bruce Springsteen’s town. There’s no two ways about it. So when The Bouncing Souls moved there to write what would become The Gold Record, Bruce’s old ghosts, spirits which permeate the area, were almost sure to appear. It happens to anyone who’s ever been to a rock show at The Stone Pony, Asbury’s most famous jaunt. I’ve seen it time and time again. Shit, I’ve even seen the Souls cover Springsteen at the Pony. Anyway, in 1999 Springsteen made it into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for the songwriting abilities he honed on the Jersey Shore. In 2006 it’s fitting that the Souls create their latest album on the same hallowed streets. The result is undoubtedly the Bouncing Souls greatest achievement in songwriting and what will be one of the best albums of the year. Sure, the Bouncing Souls have written some great tunes, but never have so many been put onto one cohesive disc. All the energy of their first few albums are evident as well as the youthful melody of their latter ones. The difference here is an obvious maturity in their ability to craft a multi-layered song that isn’t overly complicated and still accessible to old school fans. The first track, “The Gold Song” serves as a proper introduction. You can picture it as a fist-pumping, show-opener for years to come. When the chorus comes around and singer Greg Attonito boasts “I heard someone say that nothing gold can stay, but there’s a love in all our souls and it shines like gold,” you realize the Bouncing Souls wear their souls on their sleeves and yes… you can feel the love. The second track is where I mostly draw the Springsteen parallel. It’s called, oddly enough, “So Jersey” and it’s a love song about risking it all, growing up and the music that provides the soundtrack of hope. The ever-so faint backdrop of piano provides a touch of straight up rock n roll, right out of “Born to Run.” It works beautifully and takes the song to a whole new level, a level only a punk band with the integrity of the Bouncing Souls could pull off without sounding manufactured. The E-Street Band would be proud. While most of the songs are about love, life, music, and the unspoken for, the lyrics to one of the most heartfelt songs weren’t even written by the band. They were written by a soldier with the U.S. military. “Letters From Iraq” stems from a page on bouncingsouls.com featuring soul baring insight into the thoughts and feelings of soldiers overseas. To hear the words from the pen of someone living in a warzone can be downright chilling. “Underneath the palms, there’s improvised bombs. Because, Jihad Johnny knows Yankee is a liar.” Back that up with a thumping beat and you’ve got yourself the protest song Anti-Flag wish they wrote. There’s been plenty of positive words written about the Bouncing Souls over the years. I asked a friend not too long ago if he liked them and his response was ‘who doesn’t like the Bouncing Souls?’ They’ve cemented themselves as a group a lot of bands want to be and you know something? They just get better as time goes on. To hear them do what they do is pure love and when you’re that passionate about something, the love does indeed shine like gold.
