That live energy informed Cold Gas Giants, which burnished the bands power pop pedigree and evoked the heady heyday of 80s college rock radio and early 90s alt-pop: crunchy echoes of The Replacements and Hsker D, The Posies and Teenage Fanclub, Uncle Tupelo and Wilco at their early, rocking finest were well evident. Schneiders songs, sung in turn by himself and the others, are the emotive glue holding the polyphony together, and the band play with the chemistry of a group thats been together far longer than they have, and the energy and abandon of teenagers just out of the garage. Its a joy to hear those songs (and that voice) in a wild and wooly live setting, and Hunts contributions shine as well. Schneider, Shelton, and Hunt trade duties on guitar, bass and lead vocals (sometimes within a single song). Thank you, 2010- : many joints compiled into over 70 m : Nocturnes - Composer: Chopin, Featu : Yogi Bear (2010) - Directed by Eric : are in the same key also) it is wor : Uy STUFF Did you know that you can show all.From their formation in 2015 as a collaboration between singer-guitarists MARTY SCHNEIDER (Midway Delta, Campbell Apartment) and BILL HUNT (Captain Fatass, The Generous Grants) to today, theyve released three full-length albums, culminating with the celebrated and raucous hook-fest Cold Gas Giants (Kool Kat Musik, 2017).It was the late 2016 addition of JEFF SHELTON (The Well Wishers, Hot Nun, ex-Spinning Jennies and host of KSCUs The Power Pop Show) and drummer STU SHADER that pushed TRIP WIRE over the top.What you witness onstage and hear on record now is a trio of top-notch songwriters and players pushing each other to new levels of performance and craft, propelled along by Shader, an absolute monster whos as much fun to watch as he is to hear.
