The Fresno trio take aim at personal and corporate greed, encourage discourse over dismissal on the new collection

Punk trio Trash n' Privilege have unveiled their unapologetic, rousing new EP, Flush.

The new record sees the band purveying their prototypical brand of raw, unfiltered punk, tackling issues of government overreach, identity and corporate greed.

Vocalist Steve Shepard has been working on his elevator pitch for the new collection...

“Are you into burning your friends? Do you like stepping on people to get what you want? Do you trust your government and hang on every word emanating from the mouth pieces? Then Flush is the EP for you. The 5 song EP dedicated to the long overlooked, rat bastards.”

Born out of a shared frustration with the status quo, Trash n’ Privilege dazzle with their fast paced, melodically weighted punk rock. The Fresno outfit’s caffeine laced, high-octane energy is raw and unapologetic with a soundscape that nods to punk icons Ramones, Quicksand and Social Distortion.

Last year's Commence With The Bum Out brought a sonic assault of blistering guitar riffs, thundering bass lines, and relentless drums, accompanied by lyrics that tackle themes of a 24-hour news cycle, big tech, and personal struggles.

Following on from April single "Best That You're Dead", the California crew vent their grievances on a range of contemporary bugbears, dropping heat on the selfish, greedy and those not willing to listen or compromise, in a unfiltered showing of frustration at the modern world.

But, amidst the depth and thematic introspection, the sonic output is textbook Trash n' Privilege; passionate, expressive punk, laced with urgency and melody, an energetic and highly charged set of tracks, as timely as they are embracing.
