This is a band who has truly embraced the DIY ethic. On this full length the band has delivered 14 ska-core tracks for fans of music with aggressive tendencies. The album was recorded in two days which leads to a few problems with timing here and there which is bound to happen when you are cramming 14 songs into a two day session. The results are an album which packs a very un-even punch. Every song is bound to get a dancefloor packed with people. The sound is very similar to early Heatskores. Not music for the faint of heart.

Standout tracks include : Bikes Are Law, Suburban Lawnmower Brigade, The Mike Lahoud Experience, Lean To The Right

This band shows a lot of promise...hopefully next time they will either have more time to record or concentrate on maybe ten tunes at a time and then we will have a more accurate picture of the True Trout sound. This is a fine introduction however so check them out if you have the chance. For free samples check out their myspace page.
