Louisville, Kentucky's TROPHY WIVES was conceived in the summer of 2007. Vocalist/guitarist Billy Bisig (Elliott, Lords) and bassist Tony Ash (Coliseum, Nixon), frustrated with both the demise and/or inactivity of some of their former projects and the directions in which some of the others were heading, began writing and demoing songs in their cramped warehouse practice space over a particularly miserable and balmy Kentucky summer. Within a few short months, having woodshedded a good amount of material, drummer Geoff Paton (Young Widows, Breather Resist) was enlisted. Countless shows later, having won the praises of diverse and enthusiastic crowds both in town and beyond, the band has found a kindred spirit in guitarist Elliott Turton. With their lineup finally solidified, the quartet has resumed forging their pummeling yet distinctly melodic style, drawing upon influences all across the musical spectrum to create their feedback-drenched, beer-soaked wall of sound, a potent combination of Bisig's strained, raspy vocals seducing and drawing you in even as his chainsaw-like jet engine guitars threaten to burst your eardrums, Ash's gnarled, growling bass simultaneously slicing and weaving through the songs like a knife while laying a rock solid rhythmic foundation, Turton's dense rhythm guitar suffocating the listener in an impenetrable haze of grime and fuzz, and Paton's relentless and surgically precise thrashing of the drums, causing one to inevitably and invariably move their body to the beat, even as they search for shelter from the assault.
