First Impressions: Trash Talk’s “Awake”
In the interest of full-disclosure, I need to say that I really dislike Trash Talk. Seriously, I sincerely do not like the band for long-standing personal and professional reasons. In addition, I don’t buy into their so-called “DIY” gimmick, their relentless touring over the years does not impress me, and most importantly, I think their music is just plain mediocre and overrated. And that’s why it’s so difficult for me to genuinely say that I… like… this record? No, that’s not what I meant; I genuinely don’t mind this record. Which is a vast improvement over my reaction of dismissive wanking motions to previous releases.
