Trademark Story

It can take years for a band to find the chemistry they need to succeed. For The Trademark, it has taken them six years of band member rotations to finally find the click they needed to become a full-fledged band. "The Trademark to me is a like tidal wave, if you are in it's vicinity it will encompass, engulf, and overpower you. The Trademark will make you wet" as described by vocalist, Riley. "This band has so much drive and so much passion behind everything we do that it tends to suck you in. This band is everything to us. The Trademark in itself has become like my alter ego."

"I think the rock Gods need to see a little more blood and sweat before they deem our sacrifice worthy" explains Trademark bassist, Drew. How much sacrifice would it take though? "Riley, my older brother and I have been playing music and writing music since I was in the 6th grade. As for The Trademark, we have been under that guise for about 6 years now."

Their hard work seems to be paying off. "We've done a few self produced EP's and a full length (This Island Earth), but what we are most excited about is a five song project we just completed with one of our favorite producers, Jim Wirt. We were stoked to work with such a legend and especially someone who has done some of our favorite albums (Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Letter Kills, Incubus, etc)!" proclaims Natty, The Trademark drummer.

The future seems bright for this young Utah band who play danceable rock and roll that will keep your toes tapping from their first song to their last. Having played several hundred shows together, their chemistry is finally starting to bubble and boil and spill over onto the dance floor of notriety that they deserve. Give them a chance this year and you'll be dancing for the rest of your life.
