It was less than a year ago when I covered Tripper in a New Hardcore Band Spotlight. "Hardcore with skramz elements" is how the Baltimore-based outfit described their style at the time.
With new vocalist Nic Ledford now fronting the group, Tripper is getting down to business, signing with Thirty Something Records for the forthcoming release of a 4-track EP called Faceless. According to the band, much of the EP "deals with feeling performative around others and overcoming dissociating."
Tripper is hooking No Echo up with an early stream of EP track "Cycles" to set the mood off:
Tripper singer Nic Ledford shared the following thoughts about their lyrics to the song:
“This is about trying to work things out with an ex that just can’t see my perspective or my effort in trying to break self destructive habits. I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection and work on myself the past several months and it has caused me to see things in a new light.”
The studio sessions for Faceless were recorded and mixed by Kevin Bernsten (End It, Full of Hell) at Developing Nations in Baltimore.
Faceless will be out on October 4th via Thirty Something Records (US store | UK store).
