TRASH SOUND CONGLOMERATE ""Uncultured at the Best of Times" is an anthem for those who can't help being themselves

Seattle, WA – TRASH SOUND CONGLOMERATE‘s “Uncultured at the Best of Times” is the conclusion to a lifetime of being asked if you were raised in a barn. Sometimes the best words for expressing how you feel have already been etched in stone. The platitudes echo generationally until they become cliches. A power pop song written for the stout-hearted, “Uncultured at the Best of Times” is an anthem for those who can’t help being themselves.

“I have literally never figured out how to be quiet in quiet places. I have been told to shut up at the spa for being my typical loud self. I’m at my loudest with a guitar in my hand, unfortunately, so people don’t even have a chance to tell me to hush,” says bassist Gwen Static. “This song isn’t a defense. It’s more throwing words back at the people who try to explain my life to me like it’s not mine.”

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.
