The Trims have been playing melancholic post-punk with pop ambitions for nearly a decade now, and if you’ve ever seen one of their high energy live performances, you know they’ve got the chops. While frontman Gabe Maciel’s confessional poetry has always been concerned with loss, regret and heartbreak, sonically the band’s latest record Julian Street finds the San Jose natives embracing increasingly bright hooks. The results are decidedly danceable. Think Two Door Cinema Club if they bled Orange Sauce. Catch them at The Ritz this Saturday with Living Among Giants, Sweet Hayah and DJ Chuy Gomez.
