The Trademark
By Cory McKay
It can take years for a band to find the chemistry they need to succeed. For The Trademark, it has taken 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 its vicinity it will encompass, engulf and overpower you. The Trademark will make you wet," said Riley (vocals). "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."
Although its members have spent years playing music both on their own and together, The Trademark isn’t afraid to keep working to reach the top. "I think the rock gods need to see a little more blood and sweat before they deem our sacrifice worthy," explained Drew (bass). "Riley, my older brother, and I have been playing music and writing music since I was in the sixth grade. As for The Trademark, we have been under that guise for about six years now."
Their hard work seems to be really paying off. "We've done a few self-produced EPs and a full length (titled 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,” said Natty (drums). “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).”
The future seems bright for this young Utah band that plays danceable rock and roll that will keep your toes tapping from the first song to the last. Having played several hundred shows together, their chemistry is finally starting to bubble and spill over onto the dance floor, giving them the notoriety that they deserve. Give The Trademark a chance this year and you'll be dancing for the rest of your life.
