The Trusted – Doomsday

Essex rockers The Trusted are back today with one of their biggest releases yet.

‘Doomsday’ is as bold and epic as its title implies. Through its arresting mix of indie, pop and rock, the song addresses the notion of ‘everything falling apart’. As lead singer Tom Cunningham explains:

“It’s a loud rocket-fuelled cry for help; a psychological apocalypse. We’re living in a world on the on the brink of war and collapse, yet ‘Doomsday’ is a song about a more personal Armageddon. We all have our own, in-built doomsday clocks and sometimes, our minds can reach a breaking point.”

The Trusted have solidified their status as one of the UK’s most prominent emerging pop-rock groups – garnering acclaim from heavyweight tastemakers as noted as BBC 6 Music, Earmilk and American Songwriter.

You can catch the band performing live at Chinnerys (Southend-on-Sea) on the 4th August – tickets can be found here.

New Music: The Trusted

UK-based indie rock outfit The Trusted cite some of their musical heroes as Catfish and the Bottlemen, The 1975, The Clash and Elvis Costello to name but a few.

The sound they construct is full of charm and character, yet carries an essence of intensity that is gripping to listeners. Their new single ‘Vellichor’ encapsulates the sense of the passing of time, and dissatisfaction with the trajectory of one’s life.

“This is a song about nostalgia. It’s about using the past as a drug to combat the pains of today. The word ‘Vellichor’ means ‘the smell of old bookshops.’ This song has nothing to do with the meaning of the actual word but more with the feeling it creates. Vellichor in this context represents ‘the smell of old emotions and the passing of time.’ The protagonist is unhappy and distraught with the way in which their life has turned out. They are horrified at the new world and long for a different time or a previous life.’ Another of the many songs written during lockdown, and with the world seemingly changed in many ways forever, Vellichor represents a sense of seeking solace in the past.” – Tom Cunningham, The Trusted
