Channeling the frustrated, beat-our-head-against-the-wall feeling that we all try to numb ourselves to,TRASH SOUND CONGLOMERATE‘s “The Hive” is a clear-eyed reflection on how meaningless conflict keeps us exactly where we’re at.
“The Hive” harnesses the power of a classic beat-down hardcore riff to punctuate frustrations with the apolitical politics of our everyday. “I feel like I’m preaching to the choir here,” says Trash Sound Conglomerate drummer Bogie, “but I find myself frustrated by the constant infighting on the left and amongst the working class at large. Who do you think benefits from the perpetual subgenreifcation into oblivion?” Regardless of the outcome, the whole thing doesn’t add up.
“The Hive” will be released digitally from Moodkiller Records on Friday, June 26th, 2026.

If the history of punk rock was to be wrung-out like a sopping sponge, Seattle trio Trash Sound Conglomerate is the excess squeezed from its soggy corpse. The collective, individually known as Kat Trash (guitar), Bogie (drums and cymbals), and Gwen Static (bass)shares the collective burden of songwriting duties. The trio rips through a genre-bending range that references power-pop, hardcore, and thrash.
Since 2021, T.S.C. has released two EPs, two singles, and a full-length album, with their second full-length, Sophomore Slump, forthcoming. There is no lead singer in T.S.C., the three pass the microphone between them. If they ever forgot their on-stage dinosaur, that’s not the real T.S.C.
