It‘s been a while but today Trench Dogs second album “Stockholmiana” is out – get your copy HERE
It‘s Friday and if a band could be one specific weekday then Trench Dogs would be Fridays.
What do we mean by that? Well they embody both the toe-tapping thrill and satisfaction of saying “up yours” to the boss and colleagues when you leave work, the absolute energetic excitement and ecstasy of the first sip of your preferred drink when you finally get home or to the bar, and also that cold creeping feeling you get when as the night progresses, you know the weekend is already ending…
Trench Dogs released their debut album Year Of The Dog in august 2018 and the plan then was to really focus on getting out on the road and play shows. But with the world grinding to a halt in 2020 those plans had to change and the band instead put their full attention to writing and recording what would become their second album.
Stockholmiana is a groovy rock n’ roll album with songs that spans the human emotional spectrum and explore the tragedy and bliss of our strange existence. The band expands on elements from the last album and the result is a record that mixes speedy rock n’ roll bangers with bombastic mid-tempo tracks that are big in all the right places and raw where they should be. Big backing vocals and drums complement melodic guitar riffs while still hitting hard with the energetic, boozy and unpolished attitude that has become the trademark of the band.
The multinational band has kept up its tradition of seeking to cooperate with people outside of their home country as the album was mixed by Harry Darling (of the band Bitch Queens) at Lux studios in Switzerland, as well as being mastered by producer Al Scott in England.
Stockholmiana has all the best parts from their previous releases but still sees the band moving forward and evolving.
Martini adds: “This album as well as our new cooperation with Wild Kingdom is the band taking it up a notch, and having a label like Wild Kingdom to stand with us as we do that is a great thing.”
