Sitting somewhere between hardcore, punk, and post-hardcore, Tripper take unwanted feelings and turn them into heavy, noisy songs of catharsis. Following the Baltimore band’s 2024 Faceless EP, they now return with their next dose of music in single “Puppet.” The song delivers a deep tone, swirling through raw, anguished vocals and puncturing riffs. On the lyrics, vocalist Nic divulges, “The track focuses on heavy themes of dissociation and not feeling in control of my body or my mind.” Stream it HERE.
The band’s unique sound has allowed them to share the stage with Loma Prieta, Spaced, MSPAINT, and Ekko Astral, and has garnered attention from Alternative Press, No Echo, and BrooklynVegan. Tripper have upcoming shows in Maryland and North Carolina, full dates below.
Tripper is Nic Ledford – Vocals, Bryan Moon – Guitar, Austin Reed – Bass, and Michael Habif – Drums.
