Feature: Trim Reaper – Trim Reaper – EP

Welcome to the wild world of Trim Reaper – an explosion of mid-00s indie electro-punk goodness and the latest project from Australian indie rock icons Matthew Somers (I Heart Hiroshima)and Michael Hardy(Violent Soho, Miiesha, Birds Of Tokyo).
Trim Reaper draws their power from the unfiltered charm of vintage gear and unconventional recording equipment. The duo draw inspiration from bands like Suicide, LCD Soundsystem, IDLES, and Protomartyr, fusing purpose and passion to create their heavy and heartfelt art.
Described as dance punk/indie electro, Somers and Hardy carve their groove with live drums, distortion, and tape machines, transforming raw energy into art that is both sincere and unpretentious.
Their music tackles themes of housing affordability, wealth division, emotional empathy, and self-worth, giving a voice to the underrepresented and pushing back against the fear, ego, and cataclysm dominating today’s headlines.
Trim Reaper’s debut self-titled EP is available to stream now via etcetc.
