Trestles with The Galentines

Trestles in a beach rock project from Santa Cruz, California. Formed in 2021, the new band made a name for themselves playing in the college rock circuit during the major post-pandemic scene resurgence. While Trestles definitely allows the beach town aesthetic of Santa Cruz to seep into their music, the band is more interested in creating a sound that equally criticizes and celebrates west coast garage rock tradition. By finding a balance between the pretension of 1960’s musicianship and the accessibility of modern indie rock textures and pop sensibility, the band’s sound aims to be relentlessly rooted in the present. This attitude is delivered through sarcastic, yet aware lyrics that aim to make living in the moment feel like a study in social politics. Trestles' music is plainly meant for whoever who wants to hear it. After becoming a quintessential new band to look out for, Trestles released their first LP Halfway Up The Hill in 2022.

The Galentines are an all-girl indie-rock band who are the very heart of the local music scene in Boulder, Colorado. They are known for their stunning harmonies blended into epic instrumental solos that remind the listener of classic rock bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd, while maintaining their punk edge with biting lyricism and driving rhythms. Their music “celebrates the complexity of womanhood, capturing all of its challenges and triumphs” (Medium), while breaking the barriers that define the female experience. Encompassing multiple genres, including indie, punk and rock, the girls recently released their debut album, 1140, now streaming on all platforms. This album has been revered since its conception, with tracks like Sweet Cream, Tommy, and Rear View Mirror being featured on major radio stations in Colorado, including 93.3 and 102.3.
