Trash Boat

About the artist

Anyone paying attention to Trash Boat's ascent through alt rock’s upper echelons will find little surprise in their meteoric rise. The band’s preceding third album, 2021’s Don’t You Feel Amazing?, elevated the quintet – completed by guitarists Ryan Hyslop and Dann Bostock, bassist James Grayson and drummer Oakley Moffatt – to the cover of esteemed tastemaker publications including Kerrang! and Upset, racking up 19m global streams off the back of key editorial playlist looks fronting Spotify’s The Rock List and Amazon’s Rock Scene. But more so, it served to shatter the constrained box into which expectation of the band previously had neatly sat. “I think people had come to expect a very particular sound from Trash Boat, and Don’t You Feel Amazing? was us exploring different sides, influences and inspirations, and finding our true sound,” Duncan reflects. “Heaven Can Wait, which we collectively self-produced, is an extension of that journey of exploration. As a band, we don’t have a singular artistic direction. We’re a cloud of chaos.” Having toured extensively across the UK, the US and Europe with everyone from Enter Shikari to Don Broco, recent singles ‘Be Someone’ with I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe and ‘filthy/RIGHTEOUS’ ft. Kenta Koi of Crossfaithhave seen the band returning on truly exceptional form.
