TRUSTcompany
The Lonely Position Of Neutral
Increase Font Size
Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
As rap-metal becomes daily more irrelevant, major labels are finding new success with yet unnamed hybridizations of metal. The Lonely Position of Neutral plays like Linkin Park without the rap and samples, or Hoobastank with balls, occupying a nether-region between alternative and metal-flavored by subtle emo overtones. At their best, Trust Company sound almost like Helmet gone pop, rendering unscrupulous closet metal fans like myself helpless against temptation and writhing in guilty pleasure.- Daniel Taylor

TRUSTcompany
Bio[+]Recalling the mid-‘90s art rock of bands like Helmet and Fugazi, TRUSTcompany bring some much-needed sophistication to the new millennium's metal scene. However, unlike their cosmopolitan predecessors, TRUSTcompany hail from the decidedly down home locale of Montgomery, Alabama. After releasing two independent albums, the members of TRUSTcompany — singer / guitarist Kevin Palmer, bassist Josh Moates, drummer Jason Singleton and guitarist James Fukai — decided to say good-bye to sweet home Alabama in favor of the nation's capital, Washington D.C., where the band signed to DCide Records. The label's monthly tour support check allowed the band to hit the road full-time, opening for acts like Puddle of Mudd. At a show in LA in 2001, the band caught the attention of then-president of Geffen Records Jordan Schur, who was impressed enough with the band to buyout their DCide contract and bring TRUSTcompany on board the Geffen roster. Shortly after, the band entered the studio with producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Eve 6) and mixer Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine). The results of these sessions, TRUSTcompany's Geffen debut, The Lonely Position of Neutral, was released in July of 2002.
