Artist of the month-Trust Company


Recently I sorted my CDs from by grade and pick up some single songs in order to edit a "Favorite Music List" in my computer.Suddenly,I glimpsed a familiar song title "Downfall". I started to retrieve my old memory about the song's melody and the band's style.Gosh!I will never forget that powerful voice and rumbling drumbeats.However,they are not as fame as some popular band such as Linkin Park or Metallica.So if you haven't know this band yet,you will be regretful


Trust company,which is formed in 1997,has four members-vocals and guitar player Kevin Palmer, another guitar player James Fukai,drummer Jason Singleton,and bass Eric Salter.Thier music genre is a kind of Hard Rock.After 7 years hardwork,they release their debut album "The Lonely Position of Neutral" in 2002,he album was well received with the lead single "Downfall" gaining heavy exposure through MTV. Subsequently, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts.


After their astonishing debut,Trust Company was scheduled to play at Ozzfest 2003 but was forced to back out by their label in order to work on their second album "True Parallels" which was belatedly released in 2005.Despite little promotion from their label, the album entered the Billboard album charts at #32, and has gone on to sell in excess of 200,000 copies. The first and only single from the album, "Stronger," made a moderate impact on mainstream rock radio.


The band has now expanded its touring to the east coast, with The Exies as the headlining act.Now let's take a look at thier MVs!
