Fresh off the back of releasing their new album, ‘Heaven Can Wait’, last Friday, Trash Boat have announced they will be going out on a headline tour in the New Year.
With the tour coinciding with the band’s tenth anniversary, Trash Boat frontman Tobi Duncan shared his excitement about the tour. He commented, “Being ten years and four albums deep into this band feels like a gift. We’re honoured to have not only come this far, but to have done it together with all of our original members and even more of the passion that we started with. Now that this album is out, it’s no longer ours, it belongs to the world now. To everyone that cares enough to listen, thank you so much for your continued support. Our only hope is that we get to scream this in your face in person someday. Heaven can wait, we have ROCKING to do!”
In additional news, Trash Boat have shared a video for ‘filthy/RIGHTEOUS ‘. Commenting on the track, Duncan explains it “exists as a sort of twin brother to ‘Be Someone’. The latter being a message to the world regarding our pathetic default to strength, acquisition and violence to resolve problems, the former (Filthy//Righteous) being that same message to the person in front of you, the smaller entity you can affect in the moment rather than the leviathan behind a screen that you can’t.”
‘filthy/RIGHTEOUS’ also features vocals from Kenta Koie of Crossfaith. “Kenta is a wonderful human being, that attracts positive attention everywhere he goes. He wanders around various backstages devoid of ego and makes friends with absolutely everyone,” says Tobi. “We were no exception, he introduced himself at Jera on Air and the rest is history. I slid into his DM’s one day and showed him the song asking if he wanted to feature, he thankfully said yes! His contribution is unique and engaging, it’s more than we could have planned for. Thanks so much again Kenta!”
