One of my favorite bands in this or any galaxy, Trashed On Fiction, will have a new album coming out next spring…more…And I have no doubt the new album will be killer.

Trashed On Fiction interview.

Power of Pop

Trashed on Fiction sound old. That’s not meant as a derogatory description of any sorts, more a matter of fact sort of thing. On their new record, Words Trails Maps, the four-piece Brooklyn outfit play roots rock in the grand tradition of Creedance Clearwater Revival, Them and Crazy Horse. This means lots of massive sounding guitar riffs, crashing drums that sound magnificently gleeful, and a studio ethic that takes the lo-fi aesthetic of the indie scene and turns it into a manifesto of intent to bring the listener back to the days when rock and roll was fresh and vibrant instead of the tricked-out cliché it is today…

…Gutsy and vibrant, Words Trails Maps is a record that will demand your attention almost as much as it rewards it. It’s a record that captures both the heat of the sex as well as the post-coital embrace afterwards, a record that is as lived-in as it sounds. Invest a few hours into repeated listenings; you won’t be disappointed.

Trashed On Fiction:: Words Trails Maps
Earlier I mentioned Trashed On Fiction’s album Words Trails Maps, which deserves more notice considering its been hard to put this one down. The Brooklyn group have made fine representation of their music on this crisp recording. The record travels with little repetition, filling out with edge, hook, distortion, and occasional surprise on its thirteen tracks…

Get Trashed On Fiction!

Brooklyn’s got lots of good stuff coming out. Trashed on Fiction has just given us their folky indie rock album called Words Trails Maps and I must say it is quite good. Well there are Mid-Westy folkier parts but there’s tons of rock on it too. It’s a good combination and pieced well in their tracks. I gave the whole album a listen and it’s a lot of fun…

:Trashed On Fiction – Safety Net:

Worlds Trails Maps is an album not just about growing older, or leaving home, the surreal characters we call friends, or the cavalier hearts of youth. But the contemplative silence between these experiences, and the jubilant debauchery afterward.” At first I thought that quote was another PR person going bizarro, but after I noticed lyrics like “Darling, did I love you?” and the song’s nostalgic drenched sound it all started to makes sense…

I’m Totally Trashed on Fiction

Influenced by the roots-rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Young, The Band, the early country rock of Gram Parsons and their latter-day disciples Wilco, as well as the Midwest alt-rock of The Replacements,Trashed on Fiction play indie rock in that old fashioned way that so few people remember nowadays (hell, they even look like old indie rockers)…

More New Music: Trashed On Fiction, Words Trails Maps

…The result giving the songs a warm, intimate, lived-in feeling while still sounding like it could have been recorded at Abbey Road. If it was ever possible for the music of a band to grow on you, this could very well be the band making the music…

Deli Magazine article, December 2008

Trashed On Fiction’s songs worm their way to the brain and dwell there for days. The band producse comfortable rock with washes of country that recalls Wilco and The Replacements. Infused with a youthful vivacity, Trashed on Fiction writes songs that can accompany a raucous house party (“The Passing Perfect”) or to reflect with a quiet, ambling nightcap (“Killing Grounds”). The execution is so effortless; it can create a sense of jealousy of the band’s innate talent. – Nancy Chow
