Punk trio Death Trails<\/a><\/strong>, from Blackpool and Preston in North-West England, are getting set to release a series of singles over the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Formed in 2019, Catlow (vocals\/guitar), Luke (vocals\/bass) and Muss (drums) describe themselves as “a mixture of genders, ethnicities, sexualities and voices coming together to create dual vocal melodic chaos”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trio had played a few gigs and were just starting to get things together when Covid-19 intervened. The first song they released was a demo of their track Animal<\/em>, in April 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded just before lockdown, it’s available as a ‘pay what you want’ download from their Bandcamp page HERE<\/a><\/strong>. It’s a pacy slice of melodic punk, with Catlow and Luke sharing vocals as they sing about the differences in people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact they haven’t been able to go out and gig for the past year, the trio have continued to play live-streamed sets from local venues. They’ve also managed to self-produce four singles, which will be drip-fed onto major streaming platforms over the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every sub-genre of punk is explored in the Death Trails sound, which reaches from ska to hardcore and beyond, and that’s evident in their debut single Ska Dad<\/em>, which will be released on April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an upbeat tune on which Luke takes lead vocals, and it’s a song which is sure to get the pit jumping when we’re all allowed to gather in sweaty little venues again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be followed on May 12 by Mamma’s Got Old<\/em>, which sees Catlow lead from the front, and it’s a catchy slice of melodic punk about childhood memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They might be a new band, but all three members of punk trio Death Trails have been in other bands; Catlow most recently in now-defunct Blackpool band The Poly-Esters<\/a><\/strong>, Luke in grunge-punks Kraul <\/a><\/strong>and Muss in genre-crossing Preston outfit Honour Roots<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
