Home.

2010-12-05T13:34:00.000-08:00

All of us are finally back home in California. It took awhile but we made it back. This last tour was a wild long one. We did a full US straight into Japan then jammed it over to Europe and the UK. I think we did around 56 shows including the late night after jumpoffs. Needless to say it feels good to be back in our home state after being out for that long. Burritos have never tasted so good. Thanks to anyone who helped us out on this last one with a show, a place to sleep, beer, blunt or whatever. It's much appreciated. The plan now is to chill and make some new music. Keep checking back on the blog for updates and new stuff as it comes in. We will be posting a lot more now that we are home. Here are a few photos from the last couple days of tour. See you soon.

HALLOWEEN IN LEEDS

2010-10-31T06:09:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. The last week has been pretty hectic. We traveled 23 hours through Asia, The Middle East and Europe finally arriving in the UK. Thanks to everyone who came out the shows last week in Japan. We will be back out there soon. We are playing 2 shows in Leeds tonight. The first show is at The Cockpit and it is 100% sold out. Since that show is sold out we decided to set up a basement show afterwards for free with our friends in Closure. The basement show will start after the first show at around 10 PM. Email a.jones-lcad@hotmail.com for the details on how to find the spot in Leeds. We are also playing 2 shows tomorrow night in Wales. The first show is in Cardiff at Clwb Ifor Bach and that show is sold out. Same deal since that show sold out we are doing another free show in Newport at Le Pub after our first show. Show at Le Pub starts at 9 PM and it's with Crossbreaker and Wardogs. That's all for now. Hopefully we will be seeing some of you tonight and tomorrow. Get weird. It's Halloween!

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

2010-10-19T18:25:00.000-07:00

Last y'all knew we were trekking across the US with our boys in Touche Amore, Envy and ASIWYFA. After some killer shows in Lawrence, Omaha, Denver and Ogden we whipped straight from Utah to LAX, took a quick smoke break ;) and hopped an 11 hour plane ride over the Pacific to Japan!

Physically drained, mentally vexed and filled with Singapore Slings, we touched down at the Tokyo Narita airport where we met Ricky, our translator. Minutes later we were whisked to Saitama Super Arena for a Loud Park production meeting.

Saturday we hit the block in Harajuku, checked out some stores, ate some wild food and ran into our dudes Daiki and Kengo on the street. Small world...

Sunday we woke up at 6 to make our 7 o'clock lobby call to head to Loud Park. We were sound checking by 9am and drinking shortly after.

Words cannot do the Loud Park experience justice.

If you've ever seen MOTORHEAD...in an arena...in Japan...then you know what I'm talking about...

Fuck this industry. I'm in these streets.

Come Monday we'll be back in California decompressing for a few days and smoking the best weed in the world before we head to Portland for MusicFestNorthWest.

Shouts to everyone who helped us out over here.

Our stay wouldn't have been the same without all of you. See you again in October.

Hope to see some familiar faces amongst the trees (4:20) tonight...

The weekend is finally over...

2010-08-30T08:10:00.000-07:00

We spent the past weekend at Reading & Leeds fests. We had a crazy time playing, catching sweet bands, hanging with friends, drinking way too much and not really sleeping. Thanks to everyone who came out and caught us play. I thought the stage was going to collapse at the end of the Reading set.. It was definitely a weekend that none of us will forget anytime soon. Here are a bunch of photos we snapped while out and about this weekend. There is also a video from the Reading stage takeover. Hope all is well. See you soon.

After all of that craziness is done we are going to make our way over to Reading. We are playing the Lock Up stage at Reading Fest on Saturday at 4:50. We're stoked to be playing this fest. It should get pretty messy. Make sure you pencil us into your schedule for the weekend. We would love to see your smiling faces. That's all for now. I'll leave you with some photos from the last few days spent roaming around East London... See you soon.

TRASH TALK x FRONT MAG PARTY THIS WEDNESDAY IN LONDON! FREE!

2010-08-23T03:33:00.000-07:00

"Front Mag are hosting an all day party/photo/video shoot for Trash Talk on Wednesday August 25th. It's all ages, free to get in, and kicks off at 1pm. Turbogeist will be doing a set around 2pm. Followed by Trash Talk. The address of the warehouse is 33 Commercial Road E1. It's a 2 minute walk from the Aldgate East Station. There will be crates of beer!"

We are coming back to Japan in October! All of the details are on the poster below. I can't wait to get back there and drink hot tea out of vending machines. See you soon.

LONDON TO NORWAY TO SWEDEN TO LONDON TO BELGIUM TO AMSTERDAM TO GERMANY

2010-08-17T03:11:00.000-07:00

We've been traveling around Europe pretty hard for this past week. We started out flying from London to Norway and hanging out there for a few days for OYA Fest which was amazing. OYA was one of the best festival experiences we've ever had. We ended up playing a gnarly all ages skate park, the actual fest and a cool house show in the middle of the night. Hopefully we can make it back out there soon. After Oslo, Norway we hit up Gothenburg, Sweden for Way Out West Fest and that ruled too. Swedish people are way too nice. After Way Out West Fest we flew back to London and drove over to Ieper, Belgium for Ieper Fest. I'll touch base more on what all happened these past few days when we have some more time. Highlights of the week were definitely The Specials, La Roux, Girls, Surfer Blood, Fucked Up, Yeaysayer, 1349, Meeting people from crazy parts of the world, Weed, Partying with Sandy, AdRoss freaking out, the Major Lazer after party and hella more cool stuff. I gotta get out of here and go take advantage of our last few hours here in Amsterdam before it's too late. Here are some photos from the past few days.. Enjoy. Always fight Babylon.

Enjoy.

The Stratford Boys...

2010-08-09T04:51:00.000-07:00

We've spent the past few days running around England causing a ruckus. Here are some photos from the journey. The photos of the ocean don't really do the view justice. The festival was right on the edge of the cliff looking out over the sea. Shit was gnarly. We are playing with Fucked Up tonight at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen in London. The show is beyond sold out. If you didn't get a ticket... You're sleepin. If you did get a ticket. We'll see you tonight.

East London is Back

2010-08-03T10:44:00.000-07:00

Here we are at home base away from home. We're finally settled into the place (though not into a steady sleep pattern yet) and have gotten our wits about us in regards to the public transportation system. Our buddies in Cerebral Ballzy are in town and played at the Old Blue Last bar last night. It was a sudsy good time. By the time they finished, the walls were sweating beer as were the damp bodies flooding out of the front doors. We're gonna head out of the house in a few minutes to go check out the Brian Posehn show at Leicester Square Theater, then probably off to one of several drinking establishments around the city.

Our first string of shows is coming up starting this Thursday in Leeds. Come have a cider or whiskey with us.

It's times like these you learn to live again. It's been great catchin up on some much needed rest since the Alexisonfire tour ended. Still, I can't help but itch to get back out on the highways and byways of the world. Life is a strange place like that. Contentedness become restlessness. Thank (someone) for the road.

We finally made it home after a long trip across America. We canoed a river in Wisconsin, Made some new friends in Milwaukee, Broke down in Wyoming, Froze overnight in a random parking lot, Walked the salt flats in Utah, Smoked too much, Ate a bunch of horrible stuff, Gambled in Nevada and made it home in one piece. Shout outs to all the people that helped make it happen (Especially Jeff the Mechanic in Rock Springs, WY). Here are some photos we took on the journey. Check it out:

We are going to be spending the next few days catching up on some much needed hang time. Pre orders for Eyes & Nines are still up in our webstore. They are going fast so pick one up now before it's too late. Check back here in a few days for updates on Eyes & Nines, New webstore merch, Upcoming shows and a bunch of other stuff.

GOIN GOIN BACK BACK TO CALI CALI

2010-05-31T10:19:00.000-07:00

Tour is officially over. We are currently sitting in Milwaukee getting ready to drive straight back to California. We've been out for 79 days now. This wild adventure started on March 12th in Austin, TX. From there we made our way over to Europe then back to America. It's been one hell of a ride. We would like to say thank you to anyone who smoked us out, gave us a beer, gave us a place to sleep, showed us around, booked us a show or anything cool like that. It's much appreciated. We can't wait to hit the road again in July and do it all over again. I'm out of here. It's time to drive 34 hours back home. If you see us on the highway stop us and say what's up. See you in hell.

Greetings from Lincoln, Nebraska! We're wakin up and wiping tremendous amounts of crusty sleep from our eyes in Joe's living room. The show last night was a blast while it lasted. Thanks to everyone who came out and no thanks to the cop who shut down both set attempts. You were a little slow on the second coming even though you eventually got your way.

Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered Eyes & Nines. The digital version is now available! Head on over to the webstore and download your copy of it today.

We've added some shows in some locations that the volcano denied us on the first leg of the Alexisonfire tour. If you missed us check out the shows page to see when we're playing your town.

No peace,

Thanks Iceland!

2010-04-21T01:21:00.000-07:00

So an amazing 3 weeks with Rolo Tomassi and Throats has now come to an end.
We should be on a in-transit back to the US to meet up with Alexisonfire, La Dispute and Therefore I Am but all of our flights have been cancelled due to volcanic ash in Iceland. It looks like we are going to be stuck in London for a few days until the smoke clears.. We are going to be playing a last minute show at Old Blue Last on Sunday. Tickets for this show are now available.

If you wanna grab a drink, roll a spliff or eat some Nando's hit us up (trashxtalk@gmail.com) we will be roaming the streets of London till Monday..
If you were expecting to see us in states over the next few days we apologise and will make up the shows soon. It looks like we will be meeting up with the tour in Florida.
Hope all is well.

Thanks

TOUR LEFTOVERS IN THE WEBSTORE

2010-03-10T23:13:00.000-08:00

Our designer/merch dude and 6th member of TT Adam is cleaning house at the TTC HQ. He is getting rid of every left over item and shipping them out for us while we play some gigs over the next few days. He has been a life saver by shipping the remainder of past orders and preparing for a big shame ship with me this week. Show him some love and follow him on twitter or something. He likes that kinda thing @theREALadross and buy the last 30 TT items that will go up for a while...

"Whether you see me in streets or catch me at shows"

2010-02-22T10:40:00.000-08:00

We are going to be hitting the road pretty hard in a few weeks and are fortunate to be playing with some really dope bands. Unless you live under some kind of rock or in some extremely foreign country we should be seeing you very soon. If you do live somewhere we have never played and want to get us there email us at trashtalkgig@gmail.com and lets be friends.
For now here are some dates to keep us from having girlfriends (sorry sam)/real lives/jobs and all that fun stuff..
Peace for now.

Eyes & Nines/Shame LP/ SXSW

2010-02-03T13:33:00.000-08:00

This year is gearing up to be a really crazy one. Sorry for the lack of posts but we have been working hard on getting Eyes and Nines as well as Collective vol 2 ready for the streets. We will have a ton of updates coming up very soon. Thanks for all of the hate emails regarding our negligence.

Shame LP's have been kicking my ass. Somewhere along the lines of the pressing there were some issues with the the sound quality so we had to refuse the press that came in. This is the reason for the hold up. Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered the record for your patience. Mailers are filled out and ready to go once they hit my door step.

On a much brighter note we will be attending a week long mess of party called South by South West next month. If your going to be in the area give us a shout and lets grab a drink, smoke, taco or whatever it is that your into..
Happy Black History Month!

Good News/Bad News!

2009-12-15T03:27:00.000-08:00

Last night in Birmingham after our show with Set Your Goals, Broadway Calls and Fireworks we kinda got robbed. On the walk from the venue to the van our merch guy, Shaun, got his bag snatched containing his laptop, journal, and all of our tour cash... Whoever grabbed it is going to be high for weeks so smoke one for us yo!

The good news is that we are still kicking. We have a show in London tonight at the Buffalo Bar with some really great bands. If you are in the area come hang out and buy us a beer or two, we could really use it. This is our last show in the UK before we head over to Ireland tomorrow and then to mainland Europe for a few days. Lets make these last few days a blast!

12/15/09 - London @ Buffalo Bar
12/16/09 - Dublin @ Exchange (Ireland)
12/17/09 - Gent @ The Frontline (Belgium)
12/18/09 - Tilburg @ Little Devil (Netherlands)

A quick report from da british roadwayz

2009-12-09T10:27:00.000-08:00

I am currently in Falmouth(UK) sitting in the back room of the venue we are playing with Gallows and Sharks tonight. This town is pretty cool. I haven't gotten to see much of it yet but right when we got here our roadie(Nick Fit) and I went exploring. After trekking for about ten minutes through a dark winding garden we got spit out onto a beach front street looking out over the ocean. I don't know if I could really call it a beach it was more like a bunch of rocks and coral reef surrounding the waters edge. I'm not complaining though it looked insane. The view comes complete with a lighthouse and a lit up castle on the hill. I'm stoked for the show tonight. All of these shows on this tour have been awesome in one way or another. Last night in Exeter we played a college campus. The place was full of heckling college students. Right when we stepped on stage there was one guy who could not stop screaming random bullshit. My english friend told me to go out and tell him to pipe down and then call him a daft cunt. The insult worked quite well for a little bit even if I didn't really know what I was saying. The same guy who was screaming kept coming up front and grabbing me. I ended up securing the mic cable around his neck and pulling him over the barrier by his throat. Usually you would think this is something that would bum someone out pretty bad but all it did was fuel this guys fire. He got more pumped and grabbed the mic and just started screaming. Exeter was a real bizzare place. I can't wait to make it back there. I almost forgot.. we got a new driver today. His name is Stan. He seems cool but we are going to miss our road dog Deanwolf. Hopefully we will be crossing paths with him sooner than later. He is probably the best driver we have ever had over here in euroland. Well that's all I got for right now. I can hear the other guys sound checking their guitars so that means I gotta go grab the mic and figure out what's going on. Check back on the blog soon I promise we will be posting more. The last few weeks have just been hectic. Hope all is well. See you soon.

-Lee

P.S. Go pick up the new Rock Sound, NME and Front Mags that are out now. We are scattered throughout those this week with reviews of our new record "Shame"(Hassle Records) and some other cool stuff. Go check it out if you can.

UK Style

2009-11-27T03:01:00.000-08:00

'Ello World! Today marks the second day of our United Kingdom barnstorming sessions with Gallows and Sharks. Check out the dates and come party with us! We feel a little left out being that we have a two word name, but I think we'll be alright. Last night's gig set the tone for a fun-filled few weeks and we can't wait to get back on stage and piss off more limey "sound engineers." So far the food we've consumed on this UK excursion has gone above and beyond any and all foodstuffs we've encountered on previous trips across the pond. Let's hope it continues on the up and up. Thanks to those of you who pre-ordered the vinyl version of Shame from TTC. They will be shipped once we get back to the Best Coast of the best country in the free world: the good ol' USA.

(No) Peace,

UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES

2009-11-16T11:53:00.000-08:00

First off, sorry for lagging on the blog updates. The last few weeks have been super hectic. Don't worry though! There is tons of new shit going on in the TT camp. So let's get started...

SHAME(Trash Talk Collective/Hassle Records)

We have a new CD titled "Shame" that just came out today in the UK on our new home over there.. Hassle Records. Shame is a 30 Track Double Disc CD containing 4 of our previous releases(Walking Disease *Sold Out*, Plagues *Sold Out*, S/T *Sold Out* and East Of Eden *Sold Out*). Instead of repressing all of those records separately we decided it would be better to just throw them all on one release. Hassle has a CD/T shirt bundle for this release available for order on their website. Check it out: Hassle Records The vinyl version of "Shame" is now up for pre order through our label(Trash Talk Collective) on our website. Check it out: Shame Vinyl Pre Order The vinyl version of this release comes with HQ-180 gram vinyl, album footnotes, a full size poster and tons of extras. Pick it up now while you can! They are going fast.

UK tour with Gallows & Sharks/Mainland Euro shows starts soon

We are leaving for the UK in a few days. This year has been insane with traveling. It feels like we are flying out of the country every other week. We aren't complaining though. We can't wait to get back to the UK and experience a real cold winter. California is not even close to as cold during November/December. We are going to be over there for Thanksgiving.. Someone hook us up with a hot home made meal so we can feel like we aren't missing out on that much back in the states. The first show of our UK tour is on Nov 25th(The day before we start our UK tour with Gallows/Sharks) at The Barfly in Camden. The show is FUCKED UP/TRASH TALK/THROATS/Gallows DJing the after party. You should come out to the show if you live in the London area. It's going to be a wild one. We will also be playing a few of our own headlining shows in the UK on our days off from the Gallows/Sharks tour. One of those shows is the Rock Sound Magazine/Hassle Records/Holy Roar Records Christmas Party on Dec 15th at The Buffalo Bar in London. Rumor has it if you dress up like Santa you will be blessed with some pretty cool shit. Make it happen. After all of that UK wildness we will be making a stop in Ireland for one show in Dublin then we're off to the Mainland to play four shows. All of the dates/details for that tour are below:

* Headlining Shows w/o Gallows & Sharks

And last but not least we just finished recording a new LP..

So one of the many reasons we have been off the grid lately is because we have been locked up in the studio with Joby Ford working on our new LP titled "Eyes & Nines". The record is now in the mixing stages and should be done pretty soon. We are all really stoked on this record. It's been awhile since we released our last LP so we have been itching to get out a new full release. I know everyone always says this but this is our best shit to date. There are tons of crazy suprises/wild shit going on all over it. I posted some photos while we were in the studio on our twitter. Check those out and follow us for updates on everything. This record will be out sometime early next year. Keep your eyes and ears open for more details on that as they come in...

That's all we have for right now. If you live in Europe we will be seeing you within the next few weeks. If you live in the U.S./Australia/New Zealand/Japan/Hella other places you'll have to wait till next year. Hope all is well. Over & out.

Love always,

Trash Talk

Shame

Euro Updates and Endnotes

2009-10-12T21:23:00.000-07:00

Yet another tour has come to an end, and like usual, there are plenty of other surprises lined up. Big ups to Bane and Foundation for lettin us party the West Coast with 'em. Check out those dudes as they continue their tour back to the second best coast. Thanks to those of you who came out to the early gig in Seattle at Inner City Empire, to Book of Black Earth for shredding the garage with us, and to Zach/Zlog for puttin on the alleycat that served as a reason for JR to throw a bitchin party. Salinas was an awesome show especially after the radiator hijinks that kept us from catching any part of the show other than our set. Our apologies for any other tardy appearances over the past week and a half. The engine coolant industry is loving us about now. Once again we got trashed in Vegas and ran amuck all hours of the night, only to reach the hotel room in staggered intervals just before sunrise. Don't ask, we won't tell. You know about what happens there...

Attention Florida and hardcore festival goers, we're gonna be playing The Fest in Gainesville on Sunday, November 1st at Market Street Pub with Asshole Parade, Deep Sleep, Comadre, Vicious Cycle, Ampere and others.

And if you can't make it that far East, come check out the afterparty we're playing on Saturday, November 7th for Fun Fun Fun Festival in Austin. That show's gonna be wild: Negative Approach and Christ on Parade at Red 7? You're not gonna want to miss this.

If you don't know yet, we're heading overseas to do a UK tour with Gallows and Sharks later in November. We've just added some headlining shows to our existing UK dates and a few for you mainlanders too. Check 'em out:

12/01/2009 - Glasgow @ 13th Note
12/06/2009 - Leeds @ TBA
12/11/2009 - Ipswitch @ TBA
12/15/2009 - London @ The Buffalo Bar
12/16/2009 - Dublin @ TBA (Ireland)*
12/17/2009 - Gent @ The Frontline (Belgium)*
12/18/2009 - Tilburg @ Little Devil (Netherlands)*
12/20/2009 - Bochum @ Matrix (Germany)*

Until then, I'll see you in the funny papers.

Tour is almost over... Weed coma..

2009-10-09T13:04:00.000-07:00

This shit has been insane. For starters on the 2nd day into tour we got asked to play someone's going away to prison show at 10 AM on a Saturday morning in Portland, OR. We showed up at 9:30 AM and played for about an hour to the 15 people that were actually there that early. After our set we were paid in weed. Way too much weed. Actually what am I talking about? There is no such thing as too much weed. I'm not gonna say how much we got but just know this.. we still have a few ounces left haha. Hopefully the guy who was going to prison had a good time. Good luck in there. After our 10 AM show we made our way up to Seattle to play our friends ( www.zlogblog.com ) bike race. It was a rager. Tons of people came out to hang, ride bikes, listen to music and tap the kegs. Book Of Black Earth was gnarly. After the Northwest shows we made our way down to the best state in America(California.. Obviously)to get wild on our home turf. These California shows have been fucking awesome. It's been awhile since we have done a west coast tour so it's been rad to see so many familiar faces that we haven't seen in awhile. We played Las Vegas last night. The show was a banger. A lot of money was thrown around the casinos last night. Some people won big some people lost big. It happens. Fuck it. That's all I got for right now. We gotta check out of this hotel and make our way over to Anaheim. We are playing Chain Reaction tonight w/ Bane, Foundation and Rotting Out. You should come out to the gig if you are in the area. We haven't played Chain in forever. Last time we played that venue there were way too many broken bones after the show. See you tonight! Hope all is well.

This past weekend..

2009-09-22T13:02:00.000-07:00

..was wild to say the least. The Portland show with Despise You, Crom and Dr. Loomis was a great way to kick off a wild weekend of coast hopping. Despise You murdered it. It was my 2nd time seeing them in the past few months and they ripped. During our set at the show in Portland I dove off of the stage and landed on a girl knocking her out. I didn't notice anyone got knocked out until I got back to the stage and saw people carrying someone out of the building. Right when I saw that I had my friend run outside to make sure everything was okay and the person was doing well. He came back and told me that everything is okay and the girl is awake and doing good. I said sorry on stage at the show and had everyone give it up for her being conscious and feeling better. I couldn't find the girl who it was after the show so I figured I'd post here and say sorry for that. It was a total accident and not intentional at all. I've been knocked out way too many times at shows and it isn't fun at all so I hope she is doing fine and back in good health. After our show at Satyricon in Portland we had to drive to straight to Seattle to catch our 5am flight over to Boston. After a quick layover in Philly we finally made it Boston about 2 hours before we had to hit the stage. We all felt like real deal zombies but Boston didn't disappoint. Kids were flying everywhere. The fest was fucking rad. It felt good to be back on the east coast even if it was only for a few hours. Here are some photo's from our set at the fest check em out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/futurebreed/sets/72157622297828695/ Shout outs to KM and everyone who helped put it together. Hopefully we can make it back out there next year for the fest again. That's all I got for now. The next 9 days of my life will be spent roaming around Portland, OR with my good pal Scuba Steve. If see us in the streets say what's up. Let's do something.

Over and out.

End of Tour

2009-08-31T05:43:00.000-07:00

Tour has finally come to an end. The past twenty-some-odd days have been an amazing blur of events; a swirling amalgam of European countrysides, cityscape, and alleyways spent on van seats, stages and floor spaces. My battered body is thankful for the respite, yet I still can't believe this adventure has come to and end. We're gonna be hangin out in Amsterdam, devouring the sights and sounds for a couple of days, so if you're out here, hit us up. Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows over the last few weeks, you made this tour one to remember. To those of you in the UK, we hope to see you this Fall when we come back out with Gallows. We've also got some festivals coming up in the states. You can check out all of those dates here.

Here are some pictures from our show in Kingston at the Fighting Cocks:

...and a video from Ieperfest

If you missed them at Sound & Fury, our first book, Collective: Volume 1, is now up in our webstore. The book is over 100 pages of stories, pictures, interviews, artwork and more, compiled from a group of our friends submissions. Below are some photos of the book. Thanks Jason.

I know you've heard it before, but thanks for holding tight while waiting on your merch orders. We'll be back later this week to speed up the never-ending shipping process. Thanks for understanding.

Nottingham Sans Sherriff

2009-08-27T03:03:00.000-07:00

Space Jam's on the telly, Thrasher: Skate & Destroy's in the PS2 tray, and my head's filled with cobwebs and the last lingering bubbles from last night's cider filled pre-birthday celebration. Between ciders and doobies, we managed to play a set at Nottingham, England's Old Angel Inn. Despite the inconveniences of the mildly wet, dual landing stair sets we had to fight to load in (big ups to Closure for letting us use cabs) , the show went off surprisingly well. The set was a fun-filled, sweat and no tears extravaganza marked by a one man wet t-shirt contest, front flips straight to the floor, mouth-fulls of Limey fingers, christ-like hovering , and much more. Just before load out, the scene was set: Scattered amongst battered beer cans and cocktail spills, waffled footprints led in all directions, giving indication of the melee that had just occurred. A good mopping later, none wil be the wiser.

We are currently in the UK...

2009-08-25T02:31:00.000-07:00

and it fucking rules. We always have a great time here. Our first UK show kicked off on Sunday at The Underworld with Reagan Youth and it was a raging party. Our good friends in The Bronx just so happened to be in London too so they came out and we turned the streets of Camden into our own personal pub. You can't ask for a better time than that. We played Huddersfield last night and chairs/speakers were flying everywhere. A few lads were sent off to the hospital to get stitched up. I think the pub was a little bummed out on all the broken shit but it turned out okay in the end. We are currently in Leeds getting ready to make our trek down south to Newport. The last time we were in Newport we made friends with the bartender at The Pub and stayed there all night with Paint It Black drinking every kind of alcohol we could find. Andy Nelson ended up driving a girls car around town on the wrong side of the street and hitting curbs along the way(and he was the sober one). It was a wild night to say the least. We ended up at someones parents house in the country side having a good old fashioned english breakfast served up by a kind english mother in the morning. It was a great time. Let's hope Newport gets wild like that again tonight. We are playing TJ's. Come out and hang. We have a few copies of the UK press of our East Of Eden single 7" with us but they are going fast. Try to snag one of those if you can. ..

Hope all is well. See you soon!

p.s. UK, where is the weed at?

Snapshot of Berlin

2009-08-10T20:28:00.000-07:00

Tonight, an ongoing tour joke became a reality. Ver ist ze money, Lebowski?

Here I sit, enjoying a delightfully chilled bottle of Berliner Pilsner in Lebowski, a not-so nihilistic bar located in Berlin's cozy and cafe riddled Freidrichshain district. I'm a little stoned and vibing to "Wild Child" by The Doors blasting from well hidden overhead speakers.

The walls are adorned with Big Lebowski memorabilia and photos of patrons and cast members, though not together. Above the bar bowling shoes hang, laces tied, like so many Chuck Taylors back home. A psychedelic, skeletal, caricature of The Dude himself graces the inner door jam, keeping watch over the barkeep and me from behind aviator shades. Ver ist ze money, Lebowski? I've just spotted one of the well concealed speakers, delicately tucked behind a 10lb. bowling ball, literally smashing five bowling pins. Twine and small loops (think fishing hooks) are the lone buffer between the presumably heavy display of art and the nearest bar stool.

Aside from the language barrier, this bar seems American. A friend once told me it was the subtle differences that make foreign countries great. He's right, i just spotted a Social Distortion poster.

The soundtrack for my short stay in Lebowski has been:
The Doors - Wild Child
Sublime - Johnny Butt
Peter Tosh - Legalize It
The Doors - Alabama Song
Jimi Hendrix - Castles of Sand

If Ipods had existed then, my mp3 device in 8th grade could have easily conjured a similar playlist on a trip through shuffle... just sayin.

No peace,

Guten Tag!

2009-08-10T17:37:00.000-07:00

I wasn't certain the day would come, but on Thursday August 7, 2009, Spencer Louis Pollard was granted permission by issuing authorities to leave the United States of America. At roughly 7:50 am, Northwest Transatlantic Flight 52 touched down on the tarmac of Frankfurt, Germany. This was finally it. On my band's third trip to Europe, I made my first. After a disorienting stagger through customs, we forged our way to the baggage carousel to await multiple ill-packed, merch-filled duffel bags and our hopefully still intact guitars. Within the half hour we found ourselves outside and piling into our rented Sprinter, exchanging broken greetings with our driver, Michael. Shortly thereafter we hit the bricks to Amsterdam before having to make the 45 minute jaunt to Arnheim. While in Amsterdam, I was given an impromptu crash course of the city's unconventional tourist attractions. Hello heaven.

To everyone who's waiting on our mailorder, thanks for being patient. We sold out of several designs and they're being reprinted and shipped out now. Thanks for bearing with us. East of Eden is in, and will be available August 24th from Holy Roar Records so cruise on over to their website to pick one up while you still can. Check it out...

Sirens & Fury.. Our European tour starts this Friday...

2009-08-03T22:27:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was rad. Our set at Sound & Fury on Sunday night ended with cops surrounding the front of the building, various objects flying through the sky, and a girl jumping off the roof of the fest. The Uhaul place didn't even notice that their truck was covered in foot prints from people climbing up it and flipping off of it when we returned it the next day. Shout outs to Riley, Bob and Todd for letting us get loud in the parking lot and everyone else for sticking around and groovin with us. We had a blast. Hopefully no one got too fucked up. Right now we are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on a record that we have been recording for the past week or so. Keep your eyes and ears open for more details on that coming soon. We are leaving for Europe this week. Our first show is on Friday in the Netherlands. We will be playing shows all over Europe for the next three weeks. If we are playing in your area you should come out and hang. We want to go and do things/see stuff. We haven't been over to Europe in about a year so it's time to get wild.

UPDATE 7/27

2009-07-27T13:56:00.000-07:00

Salutations from the Big Game Lodge! We're gearing up for day number two in the studio and you know we're cooking up some fire for you. The heat outside is pretty ridiculous, but the plush interior of the spot is keeping us sheltered from that mess. Sound and Fury is coming up this weekend, be sure to stop by the TTC table to check out the wares. We're gonna have a ton of surprises throughout the weekend so don't get caught sleeping. We finally have a new webstore up and running and this time around we've got a staff on deck to help us get your items out swiftly. You can expect your orders to be processed within 48 hours. Thanks for being patient on your previous orders from TTC. We greatly appreciate you sticking by us while we've been working out the bugs. To those of you who missed out in March, the sold out East of Eden single is being repressed in the UK by our friends at Holy Roar. Pre-orders for the limited run, colored vinyl repress are available now so don't miss it again.

No peace,

Sweatin to the hits...

2009-07-21T19:44:00.001-07:00

Carl's garage has been on fire and the neighbors are starting to stop by to exchange words... and the reviews are good. Earlier today, while running through the intro to a song for an upcoming release on TTC (duh), we were interrupted by fervent knocking. The interloper was an ex-marine who was surprised to find a "brotha" like him "rockin it like that." He alleges to play saxophone and piano and proposed a collaboration. I'm thinking no...

The songs for our upcoming EP are nearly finished. Good thing too, since we're hitting the studio on the 26th.

If you live in Sacto and can hear us, bring some food by will ya?

To Whom It May Concern,

We are finally home. It's been awhile since we have been back in Sacramento. It feels good to be home catching up on summer/life. I swear we are never home for more than a month tops so with that being said we will be playing Sound & Fury Fest in Oxnard in a few weeks then heading back out to Europe to play a bunch of gigs. It's been a little under a year since we have been out there and we couldn't be more stoked to be going back. Check out the dates below and come out to a show. Take us to one of those crazy night clubs that are always poppin off after shows. We wanna hang out and I want to drink Duval.

3313.80 miles...

2009-07-06T11:17:00.000-07:00

We are currently sitting in a hot apartment in Chicago, IL. We traveled here from NYC last night after a fun filled night of fireworks, music, drinks and friends. Now we are getting ready to get back in the van and finish the rest of this drive across the US of A back to the great state of California. It's crazy to think about how many miles we have traveled in a van together. I wish I would have kept track of the number. Tour ended 2 days ago in NYC. Thanks to all the punks, skins, crusties, hardcore kids and whatever other kind of freak you can think of that came out to any of the shows on our last tour. It was a blast. Extra big thanks to The Casualties and Leftover Crack for making every night a wild one. Tour was great but it's been awhile since we have been back in our home state. I can't wait to get back to California and do the most summer things possible. BBQ's, rivers, cliffs, movies, adult beverages and hang with friends just to name a few. We have tons of NEW stuff coming up soon in the Trash Talk camp that will make your head spin so keep checking back for updates. I believe Slayer is playing at the Sleep Train Amphitheater this Friday in Sacramento. If you live in the area you should definitely try to make it out. Hopefully I'll see you there.

That's all for now. Hope everyone is having a great summer. See you soon.

Hurricanes and Handgrenades

2009-06-23T08:11:00.000-07:00

The last few shows of this tour have been the hottest shows I have ever played in my life. The Pharaoh's Den heat has nothing on Sluggos heat. I felt like my arms were coming closer to melting every time I hit a drum or cymbal. Props to those who came out to the hottest shows in the world, Sluggos in Pensacola and The Dragon's Den in New Orleans. Both shows were awesome. We are driving to Houston today to start the Texan portion of the tour. We are playing some cities we havnt played before. We are all siked, Texas is always a great time!

Now here is a top ten things that currently rule for you :

1. Summertime.
2. Drunk bear at the pool in NOLA who pulled his wang out then fell asleep.
3. Hand Grenades
4. Vegan pastrami ruben and vegan cheesy mashed potatoes from Sluggos kitchen... fucking unreal good.
5. The Casualties' merch guy Johnny's hair. that's him.Sexy.
6. Brad Logan.
7. NOLA Voo Doo shops.
8. Raw Nerves from Portland, OR
9. Extortion from Perth, Australia
10. Birthdays on the road.

FLORIDA WEATHER.. EAST OF EDEN 7"=SHIPPED/FREE DOWNLOAD..

2009-06-21T09:34:00.000-07:00

We are in Florida right now and its crazy hot. It's a different kind of hot than we are used to in California. Everything is sticky and you can't escape the heat. The best part about this heat is it makes everyone want to hit the pool non stop. We just got done having a nice morning time pool party. The last few days here have been rad. Thanks to anyone who came out to any of the FL shows.. Hopefully we can make it back down here soon. Now it's time to head to New Orleans. None of us have ever been out that way before so it's party time. After New Orleans we will be spending a few days in the great state of Texas. Hopefully we will be seeing you if you live in the area. For anyone wondering what's up with our new single 7" East Of Eden it has shipped and is now available for free download. We are seriously super sorry for the delay on getting this out to you guys. We had a lot of mix ups at the pressing plant and it took longer than expected to get everything together but everything is good now and it is on it's way to your door step. You can download the single from our myspace or our website at the East of Eden link for FREE. We also have a new lyrics page on our site for all of you mushmouthers. Thanks for your continuous support. It means a lot.

The South.. VA/NC/GA..

2009-06-17T07:02:00.000-07:00

The last few days have been crazy to say the least. The show at The Norva in Norfolk, VA was rad. We have never been to that part of Virginia before so it was good to finally get out there. Punks, Skins and Hardcore kids slammed around together. The way it should be. The venue we played at was on some next level shit. None of us have ever seen anything like that in our lives. They had a three story backstage area fully equipped with a hot tub, sauna, big screen tv's, plush chilling areas, a basketball court and a million other things that a venue should not have. Of course we took full advantage of all of that. Did some cannon balls into the hot tub and beat the shit out of the casualties/leftover crack in basketball. Go team TT. After the show in Norfolk we packed up the gear and our roady Nick Fit held down the drive through out the night to Charlotte, NC. We had a big day ahead of us in Charlotte. Garrett's brother Corey was getting married. It's weird how it worked out so perfect. The day we play Charlotte, NC his brother just so happens to be getting married in that city. We got into Charlotte at around 9 am but there was no time to sleep. We had a wedding to set up haha. We turned into wedding decorators and caterers in the blink of an eye. Bartender Spencer was serving up the drinks all day long. The wedding was awesome and we got to meet ALL of Garrett's family which was rad. We all had a blast. Shout outs to the newly weds. After the wedding we played a show at the Tremont in Charlotte. We hadn't played NC in a little over a year so we were all eager to gig. The show went off. There was a tiny barrier but it didn't seem to matter. Who can't jump over a 3 foot gap? Our homie Memphis came out to party. It was good seeing him. It's been awhile. After the gig we did the usual Waffle House stop and then made our way back to Corey's house to pass out after our long day of being wedding planners/a band. We had the day after the Charlotte show off so we just chilled out and tried to catch up on some much needed rest. After the sleepathon we made our way down to ATL for our show at The Masquerade. Trash Talk has played The Masq before at the Scion Metal Fest but I had to sit that one out due to having my knee cap broken in half so it was cool to finally make it there. The show went off. Security didn't really know what to do. It was a good one. One thing that I always remember about ATL is that it is way too fucking hot. We are from California where it is also a million degrees in the summer but this is some next level shit. ATL hot is the kind of hot that makes you want to die. The Leftover Crack set last night was hilarious. Sturgeon was hammered and his stage antics were at an all time high. We love Atlanta and we can't wait to get back. Right now I'm sitting on the floor getting ready to head out to Jacksonville, FL for our show their tonight. We haven't been to FL in awhile so it's time to party. More updates/stories from the road coming soon. Keep checking back. Come out to a show and say what's up. Let's get weird. See you soon.

Punx & Skinz

2009-06-13T07:48:00.000-07:00

Greetings from Richmond, VA! Tonight we head over to Norfolk for the third night of our current tour with Leftover Crack and The Casualties. I have a feeling that the gutters and alleyways of the east coast and continental south will be littered with mohawk'd teens in $5 TT gear before this tour is out. Sam may even join them in their respective drunken stupors, and kinda already has. Up the punx! We're glad to have NickFit back in the Trojan horse that is our rented tour van and not just for his obvious role as designated driver. Though the east coast is treating us well for the moment, I can't help but miss that Cali herb. No mids, no sticks, no seeds, no peace.

Bye Bye America... Hello hella other places..

2009-04-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,

We just finished up our U.S. tour with The Bronx yesterday and it was a fucking blast. Those are some of the best dudes I've had the chance to tour with. Shout outs to Joby, Matt, Ken, Jorma, Brad, BMC, Dr. Z and Clem for the good times. It's going down again sometime in the future so keep your eyes open. Thanks to anyone who came out to one of the shows and made it rad. We will be back out on the road in the U.S. this summer. Hopefully we will be seeing all of you then. Right now I am currently sitting in my friends apartment in Brooklyn getting ready to head to the airport in about an hour. We are flying off to Australia today for our first time. We can't wait this shit is going to be wild. If you live in Australia come and say what's up! We want to see/do everything there is to do. Right when the AUS tour is over we will be flying back to Japan for our 2nd time this year and we couldn't be anymore excited about that. Time to hang out with all of our Japanese friends and drink way too much hot green tea out of vending machines. I gotta wrap this up and pack my bag. Be sure to check back on the blog within the next few weeks for crazy overseas stories and adventures. If you live in AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND OR JAPAN come say what's up and hang out. See you soon.

I got in the van with the trash talk dudes for a day. The baltimore show was awesome, we also got pretty wild that night. Next day, we drove to jersey and trash talk played a bangin gig with let down and disaster. There's nothing like drinking a 40 of OE in a church and watching your boys get wild.

Baltimore City.. Stay Cold..

2009-04-18T11:37:00.000-07:00

I am currently sitting on a porch in Baltimore. The weather is a cool 78 degrees with a nice breeze. This city rules. Yesterday was a blast. As we were making the drive from Columbus, OH to Baltimore I made a few calls to the Baltimore homies to see what's up and we found out that Trapped Under Ice was going to be opening up the New Found Glory show that was going down in Baltimore. Our road dog Ad Ross kicked the van into high gear so that we could make it to the gig in time to catch them. After getting lost for a little while in Baltimore we finally made it a few minutes after TUI started. They were great as always. Kids were diving over the barrier onto a cemented front row of teenage girls. It was wild sight to see. Justice was groovin hard. He has the Ginuwine moves on lock. Anton Rough played a suprise set. I don't think the crowd knew how to take that haha. Klippa was full on hammered and it was only 7pm. He managed to spill a beer on Garrett and shout out Baltimore City hardcore over a million times. I always love seeing good friends that we barely get to hang with. It's one of the best things about tour. Shout outs to NFG for the Southern Comfort shots. After we watched Trapped Under Ice weird out 1200 screaming teens we made our way over to our show at The Ottobar. The show was rad. Surroundings opened up and they were awesome. They played a new song that was beyond heavy. I think they are going to be recording it soon for a new record. Be sure to check it out. The place filled out and got wild. Some kids got thrown out for diving. It happens. The Bronx murdered it as always. Knifeman is a song you should check out if you haven't already. We were supposed to have today off but days off aren't fun so we are going to be playing the Stelton Baptist Church in Edison, NJ tonight. An AV exclusive. Can't wait. NJ is always good to us. Grease trucks after the show. Be there.

Hope all is well.

See you soon.
