On July 8th, Sacramento-based hardcore/thrash four piece, Trash Talk, will issue their self-titled/self-released debut full-length, which they recorded with producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Pixies, Neurosis) in only two days. You might think that sounds extreme…and you’d be right. With grinding guitars and gut-wrenching screaming, the intensity is enough to knock the wind out you. Since 2005, Trash Talk have toured relentlessly, and there’s no intention of quitting anytime soon. After playing a handful of U.S. shows, they’ll embark on a mini European tour before coming back stateside for more dates. They’ll be joined by such peers as The Carrier, The Mongoloids, Cold World and Iron Age.
